PREFATORY NOTE 

Although the editing of this volume has been decid- 
edly a labor of love, it has been attended by difficul- 
ties of a most perplexing kind. He who undertakes 
to gather and publish records at once invites trouble 
and criticism. It can only be said that every effort has 
been used to make the list of men in service accurate 
and complete, and, whenever it is discovered that a 
name has been omitted, it will usually be found that 
the fault does not lie entirely with Phillips Academy. 
Circulars, return postcards, and letters have been 
sent, at one time or another, to every person on the 
address list of the school ; and no avenue of approach 
to military and naval data has been left untraversed. 
The most difficult problem has been to decide 
where to draw the line in including men in service. If 
every Andover man who contributed in some way to 
winning our victory were mentioned, this book would 
certainly have to be enlarged to several volumes. It 
was necessary, therefore, to draw a formal and tech- 
nical line between civilians and those who wore the 
uniform of our government. Red Cross and Y. M. 
C. A. workers have, however, been included, under 
separate headings. Adherence to this principle unfor- 
tunately forbids the inclusion of such distinguished 
graduates as Professor James Hardy Ropes, Mr. 
James G. Neale, Mr. Frederick C. Walcott, Mr. 
Sanford H. Freund, Judge William H. Wadhams, 
Mr. Vance McCormick, Mr. George F. Smith, Mr. 
George B. Case, Mr. F. Abbot Goodhue, and many

others whose work in various governmental capacities 
of a civihan character has been notable. 

The editor is under much obligation to Dr. Alfred 
E. Stearns, Mr. Alfred R. Ripley, and Mr. James C. 
Sawyer of the Trustees, and to Mr. Horace M. Poyn- 
ter and Mr. George T. Eaton of the Faculty, for im- 
portant and grateful assistance in the preparation of 
these records. He feels a special debt of gratitude to 
Professor Charles H. Forbes, who undertook to carry 
on the Academy War Record when the editor was 
absent from Andover in the military service.

PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME 

" To speak of Fame a venture is. 

There's little here can bide, 
But we may face the centuries. 

And dare the deepening tide: 
For though the dust that's part of us 

To dust again be gone. 
Yet here shall beat the heart of us, — 

The School we handed on." 

Andover Hill in the spring of 1917 seemed little 
different in architecture or landscape from what it 
had been in the years immediately preceding. The 
great spreading elms still reached aloft to form the 
stately arch which remains the school's most distin- 
guishing feature; the buildings, oddly combining the 
antique and the modern, the ugly and the graceful, 
nevertheless blended picturesquely to form a scene 
which will always have about it much that is roman- 
tic ; the level lawns and playing-fields stretched out in 
wide expanse, and beyond them, across the valleys, 
one could still catch glimpses of the immemorial hills. 
Externally the old Academy stood apparently immu- 
table, unaffected visibly by time or circumstance. 
Brick and mortar, trees and ridges, do not change 
readily; only decades, or some mighty convulsion of 
nature, can effect transformations that endure. 

Yet there was a real change, of a kind that comes 
but seldom in a century and then only because of a 
disturbance in the hearts of men. One felt it in the air, 
or caught its echoes even before he had mounted the 
Hill. A new force, spiritual but yet dynamic, was 
making cheeks glow and pulses beat more rapidly. It 

11

led the historian to hark back to that day, more than 
one hundred and thirty-nine years before, when, while 
the nation, hardly born, was struggling for very exist- 
ence, the school too had come into being, cradled in the 
midst of the passions of war. Now that nation, grown 
to maturity, was once more engaged in a contest for 
human liberty; and the men of Phillips Academy, a 
national institution, were reincarnating the virtue of 
its founders. With that zeal which a righteous war 
alone can inspire, the school of Samuel Phillips, Revo- 
lutionary patriot, was preparing its sons to battle with 
Apollyon. And so one met on the paths young fellows 
in army khaki, clear-eyed, erect, firm of step; one 
listened on holiday afternoons to the stirring sound of 
drum and bugle, beating out the tramp of companies ; 
and one heard in chapel and classroom much talk of 
war and praise of staunch fighting men. A stupendous 
crisis in world development had confronted civiliza- 
tion, and the fate of the country was to rest largely 
with its boys, — boys like those who for decades had 
played care-free beneath the shadow of the venerable 
oaks and elms. Boys of the same breed had marched 
in 1814 through the streets of Boston, shouldering 
picks and shovels, to work on the city fortifications; 
and a generation later, in 1861, their children had 
formed the Ellsworth Guards to defend the Union. 
This business of 1917 was even more serious, almost a 
cataclysm ; but the boys were not to fail. 

Phillips Academy cannot, of course, claim any spe- 
cial credit for its promptness in rallying to the support 
of the nation; a similar loyalty is common, we trust, 
to all American institutions established on democratic 
and liberal ideas. Schools of its type are essentially 
American, with nothing exotic or alien about them.

They are sprung from native soil and nurtured in 
American air. But Andover, unlike some other centers 
of education, has preferred, when our national honor 
was involved, to lead public opinion rather than merely 
to keep step with it. Its Principal, never wavering in 
his policy of keeping his school consistently true to its 
ideals, took from the beginning a position which it 
often required courage to sustain. The result was that, 
while some vacillated or temporized, Phillips men 
were getting ready; and when, on April 6, 1917, the 
President's ringing Declaration of War voiced the 
sentiment of a united people, these same men were on 
their way almost before the last syllable had ceased to 
reverberate. It is for this reason especially that they 
may well have a peculiar pride in the record of their 
alma mater, — a record which, it is safe to say, no other 
American school is likely to surpass. 

A study of school psychology during the anxious 
months from July, 1914, to April, 1917, exhibits, on a 
smaller scale, the remarkable evolution which turned 
a land of comfortable, peace-loving citizens into a huge 
training camp, the business of which was war. We are 
sometimes likely to forget, in these days of inter- 
national conferences and leagues of nations, how pro- 
vincial, how self-centered, we were only five short 
years ago. European diplomacy and intrigue were 
then, for the average man, if not a sealed book, at least 
a volume always half-closed and in an untranslatable 
tongue. When the Great War broke out in Europe in 
midsummer, 1914, even far-sighted Americans failed 
at first to penetrate to the real causes and the possible 
consequences of German aggression. It is significant 
that, during the previous four years at Phillips Acad- 
emy, Prussian Exchange professors had been regular 

13 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

members of the teaching staff; and even in 1914-15 
another native German occupied a position on the 
Faculty without exciting any unfavorable comment. 
In its tolerance and totally unsuspicious attitude, 
Andover was not different from thousands of other 
communities. 

In accordance with the terms of President Wilson's 
proclamation of August 18, 1914, surface neutrality, 
at least in the classroom and in public gatherings, was 
for some months sedulously observed. The clank of 
iron heels in hapless Belgium, however, together with 
the rapidly accumulating proof of Prussian atrocities, 
excited strong anti-German sentiment throughout 
New England. But no formal action of any kind was 
taken, and the abhorrence of German methods of war- 
fare and of the wanton disregard of neutral and civil- 
ian rights was expressed only in homes, — although 
there vigorously and frankly enough. 

Public sentiment, however, was gradually, often al- 
most unconsciously, undergoing a transformation. 
Andover was particularly fortunate in having General 
Leonard Wood as one of the earliest interpreters of 
America's duty and responsibility. On November 12, 
1914, the Honorable Henry L. Stimson, ex-Secretary 
of War and a Trustee of Phillips Academy, brought 
General Wood with him to Andover, and that stal- 
wart and stout-hearted soldier spoke in the Stone 
Chapel. The burden of his address was the necessity of 
immediate and thorough preparation for war. His 
warning words fell too often on deaf ears ; but to those 
who look back and recall his solemn injunctions, he 
seems like a prophet crying in the wilderness. As a 
practical step for schools to take, he advised the estab- 
lishment of summer military camps, and Mr. Stimson

followed with an appeal for training in rifle shooting 
as part of the curriculum. It must be remembered that 
Phillips Academy had not, since the Civil War, main- 
tained any properly organized military company. On 
the playing-fields and in the gymnasium, it is true, the 
boys had learned courage, persistence, obedience, — 
the so-called martial virtues, — and they had been 
taught in other ways 

" To count the life of battle good. 
And dear the land that gave them birth." 

But what was now suggested was a systematic cam- 
paign towards "preparedness," — the strange new 
word which was soon to be on everybody's lips. What 
General Wood and Mr. Stimson proposed was that 
Phillips Academy should be ready, and on thoughtful 
minds their words made a profound impression. 

The gradually crystallizing sentiment of intelligent 
and patriotic Americans had a practical manifestation 
in the movement for sending an Andover Ambulance 
to the Allied front. During the fall of 1914, through 
Dr. Stearns's initiative, the sum of $750 was sub- 
scribed, in three equal parts, by the Trustees, the Fac- 
ulty, and the student body, to provide a completely 
equipped Ford Ambulance, for foreign service. So 
far as can be ascertained, Phillips Academy was the 
first American preparatory school to join in this move- 
ment for relieving wounded soldiers. What was actu- 
ally accomplished is told briefly by Mr. Frank H. 
Mason, of the American Hospital at Paris, in a letter 
to Dr. Stearns: — 

"It will doubtless interest you to know that the Motor Ambu- 
lance which you generously contributed to the transportation ser- 
vice of the American Ambulance Hospital of Paris, bears your 
name and is numbered 127 of our series. It forms part of the sec- 

15 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

tion of ten ambulances which was assigned in December last to 
duty with the Allied Army at St. Maurice, on the eastern portion 
of the firing line, where they have transported thousands of 
wounded and rendered services so efficient and valuable as to earn 
the highest commendation and grateful appreciation of the mili- 
tary authorities." 

The first driver was Mr. Eustace L. Adams of St. 
Lawrence University, who described most entertain- 
ingly some of the rough experiences through which he 
passed. In the autumn of 1915 the ambulance was 
turned over to another driver, Mr. Lawrence W. Hitt, 
who, in making a report of his work, wrote in part as 
follows : — 

"Car No. 127 was turned over to me in excellent condition, 
although the engine had not been overhauled since the April 
before. When one considers the kind of work which the cars did 
in Alsace, up hill and down, that was an enviable record. More 
powerful cars could do the trip, to be sure, but they could not 
stand up under the constant strain. ... In some spots the roads 
are so steep that pushers must be stationed there to lend a helping 
hand. Fortunately, Car No. 127 never needed their aid, even with 
a full load, although many times I had grave doubts whether she 
would make the crest or not. . . . By this time our cars were 
greatly in need of repairs, both the engines and bodies ; so we 
were ordered to Tantonville, and the cars were sent to Nancy in 
groups of five, to have the work done. No. 127, being one of the 
oldest cars in the section, was in the first group. When the repair- 
ing is complete, I hope to get the old car back and take it through 
the great attack which is coming again this spring." 

The car, after some renovation, proved to be still fit 
for regular duty, and Mr. A. Piatt Andrew, in a letter 
of December 22, 1916, gave facts to show that its use- 
fulness was far from being destroyed: — 

"You will be interested, I am sure, to know that your cars 
form part of a detachment just sent to the Vosges under rather 
interesting conditions. We have had one or another section work- 
ing over the mountainous roads in this region for the past twenty

months. It was our section 3 which first developed the mountain 
work, and which demonstrated the possibility of carrying 
wounded up and down the mountains in regions where up to that 
time wounded had been carried only on mule-back or in horse- 
drawn carts. Recently our last Vosges section was withdrawn and 
sent to the Verdun sector, but within a week after its departure 
General Villaret, in command of the Vosges Army, sent word that 
no other cars could do the work which had been so long entrusted 
to our cars, and asked if we could not at once send out at least a 
detachment of our little cars to help in this service. We were able, 
through the reserve of cars which we have now established, to 
give such a detachment within two days, and you will be inter- 
ested to know that your car No. 127 formed one of the detach- 
ment, and is therefore now rendering a service which none of the 
automobiles of the French Army Ambulance Service could have 
rendered." 

The ambulance was driven throughout the winter of 
1916-17, which was the coldest in the memory of the 
most ancient Alsatian peasant, — so cold that on two 
successive mornings drivers in the section found the 
"essence" frozen solid in the carburetor. Not until 
some months later was the car finally abandoned. The 
registration plate bearing the number 127 was sent to 
Phillips Academy, where it has been placed in the 
Library as a priceless relic of the war. 

Mr. Stimson's suggestion regarding the formation 
of a volunteer rifle club was considered on February 8, 
1915, at a meeting of the Trustees, who passed the 
following vote : — 

"That the Principal be authorized to carry out plans for vol- 
untary instruction in rifle shooting in the school in accordance 
with the scheme outlined and presented by Captain Dorey of the 
United States Army." 

On March 1, Lieutenant Stockton of the Coast Artil- 
lery Corps gave an introductory talk to the boys on 
the system which it was proposed to follow. Nearly 

17 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

one hundred enrolled at this first meeting. From the 
War Department a considerable number of discarded 
Krag rifles were secured, and sighting was taught on 
stationary guns set up temporarily in Graves Hall. 
The Rifle Club was registered as a branch of the 
National Rifle Association of America, and work in 
connection with it was counted as part of prescribed 
athletics. 

Interest in the Rifle Club increased month by 
month. During the fall and winter of 1915-16 nearly 
two hundred students joined and took the course of 
instruction. The Trustees gladly built an excellent 
indoor sub-calibre range, seventy-five feet long with 
six alleys, in the basement of Pearson Hall. There 
tournaments were frequently held ; each member shot 
under supervision, and his score, in accordance with 
the National Rifle Association regulations, was care- 
fully checked by inspectors. With the establishment of 
military training as part of the school program, the 
rifle range became indispensable and was constantly 
in use. During the year 1916-17 the Phillips Academy 
team finished second in the contest of the Massachu- 
setts Association and defeated a team from Exeter by 
a score of 1157 to 1013. In the spring term all who had 
qualified on the indoor range were allowed to shoot on 
the outdoor government ranges at Frye Village, the 
distance being two hundred yards. In the qualification 
trials on the range at Wakefield four members of the 
club won the bronze badges of expert marksmen, and 
the record of the others was highly commendable. 

Meanwhile a sense of the critical nature of the Euro- 
pean conflict, together with some apprehension as to 
our possible share in it, was steadily developing. The 
sinking of the "Lusitania" on May 7, 1915, with the 

18 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME 

consequent tragic deaths of one hundred and fourteen 
American men, women, and children, withdrew from 
any sympathy with the German cause almost all those 
who had been wavering in their allegiance. At the 
Plattsburg camps in the summer of 1916 many 
Andover men were enrolled, including Dr. Page, Mr. 
Stackpole, and Mr. Poynter of the teaching staff; 
while Mr. Wilkins, another instructor, went on the 
Naval Training Cruise. Everywhere men were think- 
ing and discussing, getting ready to take sides in what 
was quite evidently a contest to the death between 
Ormuzd and Ahriman, the Prince of Darkness. Al- 
ready, on July 3, 1915, one Phillips boy, Antoine 
Henri Engel, had given his life at the front for his 
native country, France. A small group of younger 
graduates, among them John F. Brown, Jr., '14, and 
William H. Woolverton, '10, had gone abroad in the 
American Ambulance Service, and were doing a noble 
work among the wounded. 

It was these boys in the Ambulance Service who 
first carried the war intimately to the Hill. They wrote 
back accounts of their experiences which brought home 
the reality of the horrors taking place on the fields of 
France. One of them, Julius H. Preston, '14, who had 
sailed for France in February, 1916, talked quite 
casually about his adventures : — 

"I was called out about ten o'clock the other evening to go up 
to one of the dangerous posts for four seriously wounded men. 
We drove for nearly eight miles in sight of the German trenches. 
The road is used only at night, and then we have to go without 
lights, and on stormy nights some one has to walk ahead of the 
car so that we won't run into a shell hole. I got these four men, 
but one of them died in the car, before I could get him to the 
hospital^ and one of them bled nearly all the way and filled the 

19 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

car full of blood, which, considering it was about three in the 
morning before I got back, gave one a sort of eerie feeling." 

Another ambulance driver, J. Radford Abbot, '09, 
sent a graphic story, printed in the Philhps Bulletin, 
January, 1917, in which he described nerve-racking 
rides over roads torn by bursting shells. His yoste was 
located in a town of which nothing remained but 
crumbling walls: — 

"The only thing standing above six or seven feet high was one- 
half of the church tower, which made the place look still more 
ghastly. It looked the way I imagine Pompeii did just after its 
destruction. Directly behind the town the sinister lines of a hill 
were silhouetted against the sky under the flashes of the rockets. 
I felt at the time as if the gates of Dante's Inferno could be found 
in the side of that hill. That was Hill 304." 

The tales which these men, and others like Alden 
Davison, '15, Kimberly Stuart, '15, and Paul Tison, 
'14, had to tell helped to dissipate the feeling that the 
war was remote and unconnected with our own every- 
day lives. 

During the fall term of 1916 the students in the 
Academy raised over $3000 by subscription for the 
benefit of soldiers held in German prison camps. By 
this date public opinion, especially in New England, 
was beginning to express itself in no uncertain 
phrases. By January, 1917, the air was charged as if 
with electricity, and the German note of January 31, 
announcing the immediate resumption of submarine 
warfare, really left for America no choice but war. 
The blood of the nation was pulsating fast and 
strong, and the people were looking forward, anx- 
iously but resolutely, to a twentieth-century Crusade. 
The setting for the world drama was almost complete.

The Trustees of Phillips Academy, in their meeting 
of February 12, voted: — 

"That the question of providing some form of military train- 
ing in the school at the present time be left to the Principal with 
power." 

The boys themselves, encouraged and stimulated by 
Dr. Stearns's repeated denunciation of German 
frightfulness, felt the excitement, and, when diplo- 
matic relations with Germany were broken off, they 
consulted with him about plans for doing their share 
towards preparation for the inevitable conflict. The 
Advisory Board, representing the student leaders, 
presented a petition, asking that, for the remainder of 
the year, military training be allowed as a substitute 
for the usual prescribed athletics. The Principal and 
his Faculty, after some discussion, approved the gen- 
eral tenor of the proposal and passed the following 
resolution : — 

"That students who desire to manifest their sense of patriotic 
duty at this critical time by entering upon preliminary military 
training for the remainder of the school year shall be permitted 
to do so in the place of required athletics." 

On Thursday, March 1, a large and demonstrative 
mass meeting was held in the Stone Chapel. Dr. 
Stearns was unavoidably absent, but stirring ad- 
dresses were made by Dr. Page, Mr. Poynter, Mr. 
Stackpole, Professor Forbes, and Dr. Fuess. A gath- 
ering more in earnest has never met on Andover Hill, 
and the enthusiasm which prevailed was spontaneous, 
not, as is sometimes the case, carefully fostered for the 
occasion. The boys soon showed that their spirit was 
not to effervesce in shouts and applause, for more than 
four hundred enlisted during the next few days for 
military training and signed this pledge : — 

21 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

"I hereby agree on my honor to serve voluntarily as a cadet o£ 
the Andover Military Training Corps, and to receive and obey 
all commands and orders for the benefit of the organization, to 
the best of my ability." 

Under the supervision of Dr. Pierson S. Page, as- 
sisted by a number of former Plattsburg and Plum 
Island men among the students and teachers, the boys 
were enrolled in companies and met for drill three 
hours every week in the Gymnasium, the ground being 
then heavy with snow. The organization was chris- 
tened the "Phillips Academy Cadet Corps," and a 
beautiful stand of colors was presented to it by Clyde 
Martin, '10. The men moved rapidly through the 
Schools of the Soldiers, the Squad, and the Company, 
and made some progress with the Manual of Arms, — 
all this in the few weeks before the close of the winter 
term. When, during the spring vacation, the President 
pronounced his formal Declaration of War, Phillips 
Academy had the satisfaction of knowing that she 
could boast of a military unit not unworthy to repre- 
sent a great school. 

On April 6 the President issued a proclamation de- 
claring that "a state of war exists between the United 
States and the Imperial German Government." Three 
days later the Executive Committee of the Trustees 
voted : — 

"That the use of the grounds and buildings for such public 
services as may arise be left to the President of the Board, the 
Principal, and the Treasurer, with power." 

On April 17, at a full gathering of the Board in 
Andover, the following resolution was adopted unani- 
mously : — 

"That the Trustees of Phillips Academy of Andover, Massa- 
chusetts, having in charge one of the oldest and largest of Ameri- 

22 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME 

can endowed schools, with an attendance of over 550 boys, 
strongly urge the prompt adoption by Congress of some measure 
providing for universal military training." 

Copies of this resolution were sent to the President of 
the United States, the Secretary of War, the two 
Massachusetts Senators, and Congressman John 
Jacob Rogers of the Essex district. Meanwhile the 
Principal, at the opening of the spring term, with the 
full concurrence of the student body, definitely aban- 
doned the schedule of athletic contests, and deter- 
mined that, until further developments made our 
course clear, one school at least should devote itself 
mainly to meeting the emergency. This decision was 
not altogether approved by some members of the 
teaching staff, and the usual charges of "jingoism" 
and "hysteria" were sometimes made; but future 
events were such that conversions followed rather 
rapidly and by June no protests could be heard. Dr. 
Stearns himself was fortunately no believer in the in- 
sidious doctrine of "school as usual," which, at that 
particular moment, was not without its advocates ; he 
recognized that schools as well as other institutions in 
a community must get down to a war basis. The boys 
were warned to keep up in their studies and told that 
it was their patriotic duty to continue with their educa- 
tion; but the school routine was also readjusted to 
meet existing conditions, and no boy was allowed to 
forget the responsibility which every citizen, and every 
prospective citizen, owes his country in time of danger. 
During the spring some changes, tending towards 
increased efficiency, were made in the Phillips Bat- 
talion. Two experienced army officers. Lieutenant 
Harry Frothingham and Captain John Knowles, 
both of Boston, generously gave their services as in-

PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

structors. The cadets, at their own expense, secured 
the regulation uniforms of cotton khaki. Not enough 
rifles of standard pattern being available, a large 
number of wooden, or "Quaker," guns were made. 
Before many weeks had passed the battalion was 
executing with precision some rather complicated 
maneuvers on the parade ground. On Wednesday 
and Saturday afternoons simple military field prob- 
lems were discussed and solved, and sham battles were 
carried out over the surrounding country. After a 
sufficient degree of proficiency had been attained, the 
faculty officers withdrew and left the conduct of the 
four companies entirely in student hands. On Memo- 
rial Day, at the invitation of the Andover Post of the 
Grand Army of the Republic, the battalion paraded 
through the streets as an escort to the Civil War vet- 
erans, and made a most agreeable impression. 

The Commencement exercises in June had an 
undercurrent of seriousness which was decidedly 
ominous. Men and boys alike were peering into the 
veiled future, sometimes half-fearfully, but all with a 
grim consciousness of the fact that one more short 
year might bring with it momentous changes. An- 
dover Hill had caught the war spirit. The boys, 
straight and khaki-clad, the fiags flung out from win- 
dows along the Main Street, the flare of bugles and 
the roll of drums, were outward and obvious signs of 
transformation. A beautiful flagstaff, a gift, in part, 
of the student body, was dedicated on the old training- 
field in front of the Treasurer's house, where, more 
than a century and a quarter before, General George 
Washington had reviewed the Andover militia. The 
speeches at Commencement rang with the call to 
arms. Dr. Lyman Abbott, in his Baccalaureate Ser-

mon, took as his text, — "I come not to send peace, but 
a sword." At the annual dinner, Judge WilHam H. 
Wadhams dwelt on the meaning of our fight for 
democracy; Dr. Alfred E. Stearns laid emphasis on 
the Academy's splendid war record; and Mr. Fred- 
erick C. Walcott spoke eloquently in resentment of 
German outrages which he personally had seen in 
Belgium and Poland. It was indeed a moment of 
solemn suspense, for our soldiers were not yet at the 
front, and no one could say with certainty how we, as 
a nation, would play our part. 

Already, however, familiar faces had gone from the 
classrooms. As early as February, 1917, Dr. Stearns 
had taken a few of the more mature boys into his con- 
fidence, and asked if any of them would care to join 
an Andover Ambulance Unit, which should carry the 
name of the Academy to the fields of France. When 
the news of the project became more widely known, 
applications for membership came so rapidly that the 
Principal had to make a careful selection of the most 
promising men. The consent of parents had to be ob- 
tained, and many complicated details had to be ar- 
ranged. Dr. Stearns himself wrote letters to a number 
of generous Phillips alumni asking for their financial 
support to the enterprise ; for some of the boys chosen 
for the unit had been working their way through 
school and could not meet their own expenses. Eventu- 
ally something over $3500 was secured. The following

In addition, Mr. Alfred I. Dupont provided a com- 
pletely equipped ambulance, at a cost of $1600, and 
another was presented to the unit by the New York 
Alumni Association. 

The unit, as finally constituted, was made up of 
twenty-two, of whom two, Mr. Frederick J. Daly and 
Mr. Alexander B. Bruce, were members of the Fac- 
ulty. Not one of the others had reached voting age. 
The full story of this Andover Ambulance Unit is told 
elsewhere in this volume by Lieutenant Daly, who was 
given full charge. Had it been possible to secure pas- 
sage, the unit might well have been overseas before 
our actual Declaration of War. As it was it sailed on 
April 28, 1917, exactly one hundred and thirty-nine 
years, to a day, from the time when the Trustees of 
Phillips Academy held their first regular meeting, on 
April 28, 1778. That original group of Trustees would 
not have been ashamed of the record which the boys of 
the school that they were engaged in establishing were 
to make long after they were resting in their graves. 
Four members of the unit, "Alec" Bruce, "Jack" 
Wright, Schuyler Lee, and "Bill" Taylor, gave their 
lives in the aviation service ; another. Captain Harold 
Buckley, returned as one of Andover's two "aces" and 
wearing on his breast the Distinguished Service Cross ; 

26

and several others won especial honors and decora- 
tions. As a whole, the Ambulance Unit wrote one of 
the most glorious pages in the Phillips Academy 
annals. Andover may well be gratified that the fore- 
sight and patriotism of her Principal made her the 
first of the great American schools to send a unit 
of this kind across the Atlantic, and that the men 
who represented her proved worthy of her ancient 
traditions. 

In general, in spite of some sincere and some equally 
covert criticism, the Academy has had no reason to 
regret the policy which it pursued during the spring 
of 1917. The abandonment of outside athletic con- 
tests aroused some complaint; but the motive which 
prompted this action was entirely unselfish, actuated 
simply by a feeling that, in time of war, sport, impor- 
tant though it is as a factor in normal school life, 
should yield to more serious business. The Principal 
had confidence that intelligent people would recog- 
nize that, under such circumstances, it is more helpful 
to carry a rifle than a baseball bat and nobler to read 
army manuals than the sporting page. 

During the summer of 1917 Andover graduates 
entered service by the hundreds. Several of the teach- 
ers, including Lieutenant Daly, Lieutenant Bruce, 
Lieutenant Markham W. Stackpole (who went over- 
seas in the autumn as Chaplain of the 102d Field 
Artillery), and Lieutenant Harold S. Wilkins (who 
had been commissioned in the Ordnance Corps) , were 
already in uniform, and others were to follow during 
the year. The school, at its opening in September, had 
not lost perceptibly in numbers, for, with the lower 
limit of the draft age fixed at twenty-one, most 
parents felt that their sons, for some months at any 

27 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

rate, would be better off in the classroom. The 
Trustees, on June 14, had passed the following vote : — 

"That military training be included in the school curriculum 
for the members of the two upper classes, and for all other boys 
of sixteen years and over whose parents do not disapprove." 

They had also secured the services of Major Robert 
N. Davy of the Canadian Army, as officer in charge 
of the military work of the school. When drills 
started on October 29, it was found that 510 of the 
570 boys were enrolled. The schedule provided for 
three hours of compulsory military instruction a week. 
Now that the government program had been out- 
lined, a few contests with other institutions in athletics 
were arranged, although very little time could be given 
to coaching and practice. 

The progress of military training through the year 
was most steady and satisfactory. There was little 
friction and almost no halting of the wheels in other 
departments; the readjustment to war conditions was 
made with surprisingly few disturbances of school 
customs and traditions. Major Davy proved to be 
particularly skilful in lending variety and attractive- 
ness to tasks which can easily degenerate into drudg- 
ery. When sufficient development had been attained 
in the fundamentals, he formed special training 
schools in bayonet fighting, bombing, signaling, trench 
warfare, and ambulance work. An officers' class for 
advanced study was instituted, and met two evenings 
of the week. Unusually interesting was the battalion 
band of twenty-two pieces, which, after diligent prac- 
tice, was able, before the year closed, to carry out a 
program of some difficulty with commendable success. 

The military organization had, of course, become 
conspicuous among school activities. The cadet uni-

form of khaki, with the campaign hat and spiral put- 
tees, was seen everywhere, and even the Glee and 
Mandolin Clubs were, so to speak, militarized. The 
pictures in the Pot-Pourri, or Class Book, showed the 
students always in army garb, no matter what group 
they represented. A public exhibition given by the 
battalion in the Gymnasium on February 22, the 
morning after the Winter Promenade, attracted a 
large crowd, and was actually astounding as a demon- 
stration of what can be accomplished in drill, within 
a short period, by boys rather above the average in 
intelligence. This exhibition was repeated on March 
15, in the evening, before a number of officers from 
Camp Devens and the Southeastern Department. 

Meanwhile the original battalion had been rear- 
ranged to form a regiment of two battalions, each 
consisting of three companies, with cadet officers as- 
suming almost the entire responsibility for adminis- 
tration. As spring came on, a complete and elaborate 
system of trenches and dugouts was constructed to 
the east of Brothers' Field. At the close of the Class 
Day program in June, the regiment was mustered for 
the last time on the training-field, and marched in 
parade before Major Davy on the Main Campus. In 
the evening the boys gave a spectacular demonstration 
of actual warfare. A party of raiders went "over the 
top" into No Man's Land, while rockets and star- 
shells illuminated the scene of battle. It was a bril- 
liant close to a remarkably successful year. 

Commencement in 1918, however, was not without 
its sadder features. The Honor Roll of those dead in 
service had already nineteen names upon it. Twelve 
members of the Senior Class were in France; ten 
others were at training camps in this country ; two had 

29 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

given their lives in service. Reference to these facts 
was made by every speaker. At the Alumni Dinner 
an eloquent address was made by Colonel (now 
Brigadier-General) Marlborough Churchill, who said 
in conclusion : — 

"There is one message that I can bring you from those over 
there. They know that they are just the advance guard of you 
men who are coming later ; and they know that, if they are wiped 
out, it doesn't make any difference, because you are coming." 

Still another step — a natural and logical one — ^was 
to be taken in meeting the exigencies of the hour. 
On January 15, 1918, the Trustees had passed a 
resolution : — 

"That a special joint committee from Trustees and Faculty 
be asked to consider the advisability of conducting a summer 
session of the school, with suitable military training." 

The result of this joint conference was the establish- 
ment of a summer military camp, with Major Davy 
as Commandant. He had exceptionally able assistants 
in Lieutenant R. E. Wyatt of the Canadian Expedi- 
tionary Forces, Dr. Carl Guthe of the Faculty, and 
Dr. Pierson S. Page, who served as Medical Officer. 
Over two hundred boys, three-fourths of them from 
other schools, enrolled for the course of six weeks, 
from July 3 to August 14. As matters developed, the 
camp was ideally situated for military purposes. The 
Main Campus was a perfect drill and assembly 
ground. The dormitories, Bartlet, Phillips, and Day, 
were commodious and comfortable barracks. Pearson 
Hall was a study and lecture building. The swimming- 
pool, the Gymnasium, the Dining Hall, and the In- 
firmary all contributed to the comfort and the effi- 
ciency of the camp. 

The boys who attended were trained, not for child's 

30 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME 

play, but for actual warfare. With pup-tents spread 
under the old elms, the campus resembled a small 
Plattsburg ; and the sentinels posted at the gates gave 
a realistic military touch. There was a glamor also, a 
bit of romance, when over the playing-fields on sum- 
mer nights there came the melancholy notes of the 
bugle sounding "Retreat," or the beat of drums that 
heralded a return from a long hike. When the camp 
broke up and the Hill sank back into its customary 
summer slumber, there were those who rather missed 
the bustle and excitement. But, before another July, 
the Great War was a matter of history, and the press- 
ing need for military preparation had gone by. 

The school which opened in the fall of 1918 was 
sober and unelate in spirit. During the summer the 
Roll of Honor, inscribed in beautifully illuminated 
letters on parchment by Mr. Charles A. Parmelee of 
the Faculty, had been lengthened name after name 
until it recorded the deaths of many boys who, within 
the year, had been joining in games upon the diamond 
or the track. The plans of the War Department for 
registering all those over eighteen yesLYS of age were 
naturally of consequence to Phillips Academy, and 
the Trustees would have been glad to turn the school 
definitely into a Students^ Army Training Camp. No 
decision regarding secondary schools could be reached, 
however, and the Academy opened its one hundred 
and forty-first year much as usual, although without 
the considerable number of older boys who have 
usually meant so much in preserving the student 
morale. Two of the Trustees, Colonel Henry L. Stim- 
son and Colonel Frederick T. Murphy, were in service 
at the front; several instructors, including Major 
Claude M. Fuess, Sergeant Sharon O. Brown, Mr. 

31 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Samuel N. Baker, Mr. Frank L. Quinby (who went 
overseas as athletic director in the French Army) , and 
Mr. Archibald Freeman (who was commissioned as 
Captain in the American Red Cross and assigned to 
the Balkan service) were away on leave of absence in 
the army or other war activities. The Trustees pur- 
sued a most liberal policy in making it possible for 
teachers to enter service without financial loss and 
with the certainty that their positions would be open 
for them on their return. The places of these men were, 
however, soon temporarily filled, and the school settled 
down to the familiar routine, with military training 
as a fait accompli in student life. Major Davy had 
returned to the Canadian service, and Lieutenant 
Wyatt had taken his place as Commandant of the 
regiment. The first energizing and exhilarating en- 
thusiasm had lessened somewhat, as it always does; 
the element of novelty was gone, and what had been 
at first like diversion had become hard work; but 
everybody set himself in grim earnestness to toil 
patiently and uncomplainingly for victory. The 
school, like the nation, was preparing, without any 
illusions, for a long and taxing struggle. There was, 
of course, a feeling of unrest among the older boys, 
who wanted to take their places in the battle line, and 
not a few left to enlist during the autumn. Three foot- 
ball captains withdrew, one after the other, to enter 
service. But no other attitude could possibly be ex- 
pected from young men of nerve and sinew. 

And then, quite unexpectedly, came the news of the 
armistice. First there was spread abroad the false 
alarm, which the school authorities were none too 
ready to accept; and the event justified their skepti- 
cism. A few days later, in the early morning of No-

vember 11, the bells rang out their joyful peal, till all 
the church-towers were rocking. The boys, clad in 
pajamas, rushed out into the gray dawn, and, securing 
torches, formed in parade-line, as in the celebrations 
of victories over rival schools. Down the Main Street 
they marched to the square, where all the community, 
young and old, had gathered to exult over the good 
tidings ; and throughout that holiday the bells chimed 
and people met each other with happy faces. The 
Great War was over, — over just as America was 
ready for a supreme effort, an effort such as this world 
has never seen. 

Little has been said of some of the less romantic 
aspects of war work, all of which, however, contrib- 
uted materially to the ultimate victory. Early in the 
spring of 1915, in answer to an appeal from Dr. 
Howard W. Beal, '94 (who later, as a Major in the 
Medical Corps, died of wounds in France), the stu- 
dents collected a large supply of neckties and sent 
them to disabled British soldiers in the American 
Women's War Hospital at Paignton, England. Dr. 
Beal, who was then Chief Surgeon at that hospital, 
wrote : — 

"The seven hundred ties is by far the best and largest con- 
tribution of the sort we have had, and it gave me great pleasure 
to think that the boys in old Phillips had shown such willing 
spirit to contribute to the pleasure of the British soldiers who go 
through our hospital." 

To the Second Liberty Loan the school subscribed 
over $79,000. To the Red Triangle Drive in 1918 it 
gave over $5000. In the United War Work Drive of 
1918, of which Dr. Stearns was one of the New Eng- 
land Directors, the boys pledged nearly $13,000. 
Everywhere on Andover Hill were war gardens, 

33 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

started sometimes by men to whom the hoe and the 
spade had been mechanical mysteries, but who, by 
dint of patience and research in seed catalogues, man- 
aged to produce creditable crops of vegetables. When- 
ever there was a call for patriotic civilian service, 
whether on the Legal Advisory Board or with the 
"Four Minute" men or on any of the various commit- 
tees formed for collecting funds for war relief, mem- 
bers of the Trustees and the Faculty responded. 
There was hardly a movement of this kind in the town 
with which such men as Mr. Ripley, Dr. Stearns, and 
Professor Forbes were not associated. 

Some striking examples of the fighting spirit 
among Andover men ought to have special mention. 
Mr. Edward H. Landon, '71, was living in France 
when his wife and daughters, worshiping in a Paris 
church, were killed on Good Friday, 1918, by a long- 
distance German gun. He at once returned to Amer- 
ica, and, although he was considerably over sixty years 
of age, made every effort to secure from the War De- 
partment some position where he could at least fire 
one shot at the brutal people who had slain his loved 
ones. He was disappointed in his hopes, but he lived to 
see the outrage avenged. Another courageous soul is 
"Eddie" Hinkle, '96, who, when over forty years old, 
enlisted in the French Foreign Legion and learned 
to fly in a single-seated plane, without the assistance 
of a controlling pilot. He was probably the oldest 
active aviator in the American service. Still another 
was Kenneth Rand, '10, one of the most promising 
of our younger poets, who, after being rejected by 
every American and Canadian combat branch, finally 
entered the Quartermaster Corps, but died of in- 
fluenza before he could reach an Officers' Training 

34

Camp, — died, leaving behind him in his private's uni- 
form his last poem, Limited Service Only : — 

" I am not one of those the gods' decision 
Has chosen for that highest gift of all — 
The sacrifice, the splendor, and the vision — ■ 
To fight and nobly fall : 

" And yet I know — what though it be but dreaming ! 
Should the day hang on one last desperate hope, 
I — I — could lead one reckless column streaming 
Down some shell-tortured slope. 

" To face the shadow-hell of Death's own valley 
With eyes unclouded and unlowered head — 
Know, for an instant, one ecstatic rally 
And then be cleanly dead." 

It is men such as these, from three different genera- 
tions of Andover graduates, who represent American 
courage and determination at its best. 

Of the over two thousand Phillips alumni in the 
army, navy, or marines, a large proportion were from 
the classes of recent years. So young were many of 
them that they were barely out of the classroom in 
school and college. One who had seen many of them 
go from their desks straight into the trenches thought 
often of the words of Joyce Kilmer : — 

" They have taken their youth and mirth away from the study 

and playing-ground 
To a new school in an alien land beneath an alien sky; 
Out in the smoke and roar of the fight their lessons and games 

are found. 
And they who were learning how to live are learning how to 

die." 

It was these boys who were among the first to go, — 
partly, of course, in the quest of adventure, but largely 

35 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

in a desire to meet the call of duty. No conscription 
law was needed to bring them into battle. They re- 
sponded eagerly and unhesitatingly, even enlisting 
as privates in the ranks if only thej^ could get over- 
seas. A very large percentage of them, however, 
earned commissions, and, as officers, showed qualities 
of decision and leadership that made them a credit to 
the school which they represented. 

Orators at many alumni gatherings have spoken of 
the gallantry of Lieutenant Samuel Hopkins Thomp- 
son, the young Civil War hero, who led his men to the 
charge at Antietam and died crying, "Form on me, 
boys, form on me." This war also has developed its 
heroes: spectacular knights of the air, like "Bill" Tay- 
lor and Schuyler Lee and Roswell Fuller, stern lead- 
ers in the less dramatic work of the Infantry, like 
Harold Eadie, "Bob" Lovett, "Herm" Wilson, and 
"Charlie" Gould. The deeds of these men, and of 
countless others of the same audacity and courage, 
will, we hope, be ever present memories to all grad- 
uates of Andover. 

With these boys went, a little more slowly perhaps, 
the men of an older generation, men who had acquired 
family ties and business responsibilities. It was a 
struggle for them to leave their offices and homes, but 
ultimately a large number made what Dante calls 'HI 
gran refuso" and went out to do their part in saving 
civilization. Untaught in war, they found themselves 
in a changed environment, but they did not fail to 
quit themselves like men. Often their experience in 
industry placed them at "desk jobs," without much 
romance or activity; but they had their share,^a 
large share, — in the consummation of victory. 

So many letters have come from Andover men in

service that it is not possible to make any adequate 
selection from them. They all lay emphasis on the 
necessity of sacrifice, the need of patience and forti- 
tude, and the seriousness of the conflict. Schuyler Lee, 
not nineteen years old, writes his father : — 

"Every man who came over in the Andover Unit is here to see 
the war through." 

Paul Doolin, a Freshman at Harvard, describes a 
little French church and its congregation: — 

"Here, in the simple peasant hearts of these martyrs, is the 
real stronghold of Christianity. They have suffered three years of 
horror such as we shall never know ; their shoulders are bent with 
heart-breaking labor, and their hair is shot with gray, but to- 
morrow or next week they will go back and face torture, — all 
because they believe." 

Colonel Frederick T. Murphy says, after having been 
only a few weeks at the front : — 

"The more I see of the game and the more I get into it, the 
more I am convinced that we as a people have taken the only 
justifiable course. To have dodged our responsibility would have 
resulted in losing our self-respect; and now that we are in it we 
have got to put in everything and see that the points of the dis- 
pute are settled, not to Germany's satisfaction, but on the basis 
of insuring peace in the future and preserving the rights of 
civilization." 

Corporal Edward E. Stephenson, after learning how 
to fly in a training camp, wrote back : — 

"It is the blue blood in the veins of the true American youths 
that has made the American Army what it is to-day, the greatest 
and nerviest fighting force in the world; not because they choose 
this for a profession, but because they know their duty is to fight 
until there is no fight left, for humanity, home, womanhood, and 
democracy." 

One officer. Lieutenant William B. Wheeler, who 

37 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

was in Marseilles on November 11, tells of an expe- 
rience which reads like a passage from a romance : — 

"It is twelve o'clock, and the armistice has been declared for 
one hour. ... A few moments ago I was standing in the large 
square where our band was playing the French national hymn. 
Thousands were singing, and I was joining in with the rest, 
never realizing what I was singing, until directly behind me I 
heard another voice singing the same words. I looked around and 
saw another officer standing there ; and we were both singing with 
all our strength, 'Old Andover is champion !' Strange, wasn't it ? 
We shook hands, and then the crowds moved and parted us." 

So the familiar Andover song joined men three thou- 
sand miles away from their homes, men linked to- 
gether, not only because they had both once dwelt on 
the Hill, but also because they were united in their 
devotion to their country and its ideals. 

Of those Andover men who died in the nation's 
service, nothing that we can say can be adequate. 
Their records on the following pages speak with their 
own simple eloquence. When Harvard College, on 
July 21, 1865, celebrated her memorial exercises for 
those of her sons who had perished in the Civil War, 
her Roll of Honor numbered ninety-two names. 
Phillips Academy, after one year and seven months 
of warfare, mourns seventy-seven. It is futile to hope 
that we can find another Lowell to-day who can com- 
pose a Commemoration Ode worthy of these heroes. 
We can, and do, pay them honor in our hearts. We 
shall hold memorial exercises to show our glory in 
their achievements and our sorrow at their untimely 
deaths. We shall have, before many years have gone 
by, a memorial building on Andover Hill which will 
be in every respect worthy of those to whom it will be 
dedicated. But we owe them the further obligation, 

38 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN WARTIME 

not merely to cherish their deeds, but also to per- 
petuate the lofty principles for which they fought and 
died. Only by so doing can we remit our debt to those 
whom Phillips Academy counts 

" Her wisest scholars, those who understood 
The deeper teaching of her mystic tome. 
And offered their fresh lives to make it good."

"THOSE IMMORTAL DEAD WHO LIVE AGAIN

ANTOINE HENRI ENGEL, '14 

" Your sons are stars who cluster to a dawn 
And fade in light for you, O glorious France !" 

Edgar Lee Masters. 

Antoine Henri Engel was the first Phillips boy to 
give his life on the side of humanity in the Great War. 
Born in Vanves, France, September 4, 1894, he was 
by education a cosmopolitan. When his father died, 
his cousin and guardian, Mr. J. A. Guillaume of New 
York City, sent him to a private school in Hitchin, 
England. After the death of the boy's mother, Mr. 
Guillaume brought him to America and entered him 
at Andover, where he remained one year, leaving with 
his course incomplete in June, 1913. When his native 
land was invaded, Engel, although under military age, 
presented himself to the French authorities and was 
sent overseas in October, 1914. 

He was placed at once in a Corporals' School with 
the 167th Line Regiment, and held there for training. 
Not until July 1, 1915, did he, with his company, enter 
the trenches, at Bois le Pretre, near Toul. On the fol- 
lowing day the German bombardment was heavy, and 
on Saturday, the 3d, in the afternoon, it became most 
intense. As he lay sleeping on a pile of sandbags, a 
shell burst over him, and a flying fragment, striking 
him in the neck, killed him instantly. "He did not 
suffer a second," writes one of his comrades. 

Engel was keenly interested in Andover and its 
welfare. In his last letter, dated June 9, 1915, he 
said : — 

"Je te remercie beaucoup pour le 'Phillips Bulletin' que tu

PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

m'as fait parvenir. . . . En lisant le 'Bulletin' je ne peux pas 
m'empecher de remarquer la difference entre les jeunes Ameri- 
cains avec qui j'etais a Andover et ceux avec qui je suis ici; 
autant les uns etaient francs, large d'esprit et camarades envers 
tous, autant les autres sont le contraire. Quant au physique il 
n'y a pas de comparaison, les Fran9ais ne sont pas du tout de- 
veloppes." 

He himself was a boy of powerful build and unusual 
muscular development. He is remembered at Andover 
also for his courtesy, his modesty, and his manliness. 
His dauntless spirit is illustrated in another of his 
letters : — 

"Je finis par croire qu'on ne veut pas de moi pour aller au 
feu; j'ai tellement demande a partir au feu et on m'a tellement 
refuse pour diverses raisons que maintenant je ne demanderai 
plus a y aller." 

It was his misfortune to perish without having met 
the enemy face to face ; but it was his glory to die for 
France.

CHARLES BLANCH ARD BECK, '15 

"In small proportions we just beauties see; 
And in short measures, life may perfect be." 

Ben Jonson. 

Charles Blanchard Beck, born April 9, 1895, in 
Chicago, Illinois, entered Phillips Academy in 1912 
and remained until his graduation three years later. 
At school he was interested in track athletics, and ran 
on his class team. He continued his education at Cor- 
nell, but withdrew from that college as soon as the 
United States declared war on Germany and joined 
the first training camp for officers at Fort Sheridan. 
He passed creditably the course in artillery, but, on 
account of his youth, was refused a commission. His 
sudden death on September 17, 1917, at his home, 
can be attributed directly to overwork and excessive 
strain while in camp. 

Beck in Andover was a quiet, modest boy of very 
attractive personality. His record in scholarship, both 
at school and college, was excellent, and he gave 
promise of having a useful and even a notable career.

LEONARD BACON PARKS, '05 

" His horoscope had seemed so plainly drawn — 

School triumphs, earned apace in work and play; 
Friendships at will; then love's delightful dawn 
And mellowing day." 

Lord Crewe. 

Leonard Bacon Paeks was a young man who won, 
and justified, the confidence of others. His progress in 
life was sure and steady, and he seemed destined for a 
distinguished position in his community. Born April 
23, 1887, in Salem, Ohio, he spent three years at 
Phillips Academy, graduating with honors. His ver- 
satility is indicated by the fact that he was a member 
of the Phillijnan Board and of the Mandolin Club, 
that he played on his class football team and spoke for 
the Means prize. He later took the full courses at Yale 
and at Harvard Law School, and, in 1912, became 
associated with his father as a lawyer in Cleveland, 
Ohio. 

When trouble arose on the Mexican border. Parks 
enlisted in the National Guard, and was ultimately 
commissioned a First Lieutenant in Company E, 
112th Regiment, United States Military Engineers. 
While stationed at Montgomery, Alabama, he died of 
pneumonia, October 29, 1917. 

" Was here the one thing needful to distil 

From life's alembic, through this holier fate, 
The man's essential soul, the hero will? 
We ask; and wait."

IRVING TYLER MOORE, '17 

" There is no death. — 
They only truly live 
Who pass into the life beyond, and see 
This earth is but a school preparative 
For larger ministry." 

John Oxenham. 

Irving Tyler Moore was born March 31, 1895, in 
Duluth, Minnesota. He entered Phillips Academy 
in the autumn of 1913, and spent there nearly two 
years, leaving in 1915 with his course incomplete. 
Although still a member of the lower classes when he 
withdrew, he had a wide circle of friends by whom he 
has not been forgotten. While he was a Freshman at 
Sheffield Scientific School, the President issued our 
Declaration of War upon Germany ; and Moore, like 
many other Yale men, enlisted at once as a First-Class 
Seaman in the United States Naval Reserve Force. 
For two months he was attached to the United States 
Gunboat "Kestrel," and there made rapid progress. 
At a time when his commission as Ensign was assured, 
however, he contracted pneumonia and died on De- 
cember 19, 1917. 

Moore saw no real action and took part in no en- 
gagement ; but his willingness to serve and his spirit of 
renunciation place him among the heroes. Men of his 
type, even when they died before firing a gun at the 
enemy, contributed their share towards victory.

ALDEN DAVISON, '15 

" This is the Happy Warrior ; this is he 
That every Man in arms should wish to be." 

Wordsworth. 

Alden Davison was one of those rare and magnetic 
souls who secure without effort the affection of all 
who meet them. Few young men of his day were more 
versatile or adaptable. At Phillips Academy, where 
he passed four years, he was interested in football, 
track athletics, soccer, and hockey; he was a member 
of the Student Council, the Dramatic Club, the De- 
bating Union; he was President of Forum and of 
Inquiry, and President of his class; and he received 
from his fellows the second largest number of votes 
for the man "who has done the most for the school." 
The ability which won him these distinctions was, of 
course, admired; but it was more especially his fine 
and upright character which made him a leader. He 
could be trusted always to cast his influence where it 
would count for good, and there was no worthy cause 
which did not have his support. 

Davison was born July 6, 1895, in New York City. 
After graduating from Andover in 1915, he went to 
Yale, but withdrew in April, 1916, in order to enter 
the American Ambulance Service. He was assigned 
to duty with the 8th section near Verdun, where he had 
one ambulance blown to pieces under him and was 
cited three times for bravery under fire. At the expira- 
tion of his six months' period of enlistment he planned 
to join the LaFayette Escadrille; but he was taken

seriously ill with typhoid and obliged to return home. 
In the autumn of 1917 he had recovered sufficiently 
to be able to enter the aviation service, and was sent 
to Camp Hicks, Texas, as a cadet in the 27th Aero 
Squadron. There, on Wednesday, December 26, he 
was instantly killed. 

"He was flying in formation at approximately fifteen hundred 
feet, when he banked his machine to the left and fell into a left- 
hand spin, making one turn, and came out of it, but he evidently 
shoved his control stick too far forward, which resulted in a steep 
nose dive. He was then too close to the ground to right his plane 
before crashing." 

His instructor in the squadron wrote : — 

"I would cheerfully give half my life if he were here safely 
to-night. He is the nearest to one of God's children I ever knew, 
and is mourned most deeply here, for everyone was so fond of 
him. He was a man's man, and nothing can be said higher in 
praise than that." 

Brief though his career was, Alden Davison richly 
fulfilled the promise of his schooldays. He was one 

" who when brought 
Among the tasks of real life, hath wrought 
Upon the plan that pleased his boyish thought." 

Resolute, clear-eyed, high-minded, he made his ideals 
the guiding principles of his life. For him duty was 
something more than a word, and loyalty was naught 
unless it was revealed in sacrifice. 

"He went through life sowing love and kindness, and what he 
sowed he has abundantly reaped."

DUMARESQ SPENCER, '13 

" The slain 
Who died for radiant causes, endured pain, 
Turned upon beauty an averted face. 
And perished in the love of an ideal 
That's not to be bought in any market place." 

Dudley Poore, '13. 

DuMARESQ Spencee was a member of the LaFayette 
Escadrille in France. On Sunday, January 20, 1918, 
he had his first fight with a German plane, and, in a 
dramatic combat above the Hun hnes, drove off an 
enemy aviator, returning only when attacked simul- 
taneously by four hostile machines. Two days later, 
in the afternoon, he left the ground in order to prac- 
tice acrobatics and test out his mitrailleuse; after 
doing various "stunts," he made a renversement, end- 
ing in a vrille, but did not come out as soon as he 
had expected. His machine crashed to earth, the hood 
striking him just below the eyebrows and killing him 
instantly. On January 25 he was buried in a beautiful 
cemetery near Belfort, at the top of a hill, with huge 
trees and vines surrounding the grave. 

Spencer was born December 4, 1895, in Chicago, 
Illinois. At Phillips Academy, from which he grad- 
uated in 1913, he was a member of the Phi Lambda 
Delta society. At Yale he became a leader. He was on 
the Dramatic Club and the Junior Promenade Com- 
mittee; he was manager of the basketball team and 
President of the Minor Sports; and he belonged to 
Alpha Delta Phi and Wolf's Head. In fact "Stuffy," 
as he was affectionate^ called, was recognized as one 
of the ablest men in his class.

HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

While in college, Spencer gained some experience 
in aviation with the 1st Battery of the New York 
State Militia. He sailed for France, June 20, 1917, 
joined the LaFayette Escadrille, received his pilot's 
brevet at Tours, October 20, 1917, and was later 
commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. 

Among the many fitting tributes paid to Lieutenant 
Spencer, none is more appropriate than that of his 
comrade in the flying corps : — 

"Would that I could tell you what 'Stuff' has meant to me. 
For ten months we have lived together, closer than brothers. We 
have done the same things, thought the same thoughts — two, yet 
one — and now, although there is a cross which bears his name and 
'mort pour la France,' still I know he is with me — I know he 
lives, his spirit and determination could never be downed and 
never will be — he is with us all the time — he lives."

JACK MORRIS WRIGHT, '17 

" I cannot say your brave eyes do not see 
The beauty that you loved. How can I say. 
As spring comes, and from every full-veined tree 
Peep gold-eyed buds along the spring-drenched way 
That I go to the woods alone? For you, 
I cannot help but think, walk with me here, 
Your free hand brushes mine, your gay lips, too 
Sing for the glory of the mad young year. 
They say that you are dead. Oh, but I know 
That only your body from this world is drawn. 
You are as real to me as winds that blow 
Across my face. You are as clear as dawn! 
How can I, then, force my slow lips to say 
That your eyes cannot see the spring to-day." 

Harrison Dowd, '17. 

Jack Morris Wright has been happily called "A 
Poet of the Air," and the volume of his letters pub- 
lished under that title reveals his character perfectly. 
We find there the full expression of his exuberant, 
impetuous, and truly noble soul. He was only eighteen 
when he was killed. In the spring of his Senior year at 
Phillips Academy, he joined the Andover Ambulance 
Unit and went to France. There, as soon as he could 
secure a release, he enrolled in aviation, and shortly 
won his commission as First Lieutenant. On January 
24, 1918, he met with an accident which has been de- 
scribed briefly but vividly by "Alec" Bruce, his com- 
panion at the training camp : — 

"Coming down from a spiral, he took a very flat glide and then 
backed to turn. Because of his lack of speed, the machine side- 
slipped and then went into a 'vrille.' Instantly he acted correctly, 
and according to the monitor who saw it, would have come out all 
right in another ten yards. Instead he struck the ground while

still in a nose dive and was terribly crushed. He was taken to the 
hospital unconscious and died within an hour." 

The officers and cadets of the corps attended the 
funeral service. As the procession marched to the 
burial ground, airplanes flew over the cortege, and at 
the grave one of them dropped flowers upon the tomb. 

"Jack" Wright loved France. As a boy, he had 
spent several years in Paris, and he still retained in 
later life some touches of the foreigner. He was origi- 
nal, picturesque, unique; yet he had a charm which 
was irresistible. He had a graceful way of saying the 
unexpected, the unconventional thing, which distin- 
guished him as a student with the gift of self-expres- 
sion. His tastes, which were instinctively clean and 
discriminating, led him to a ready appreciation of 
what is good in art and literature; and, although he 
had not written much, he had the impulse to try his 
'prentice hand at rhymes and short stories. There was, 
for the teacher, no need of stimulating his imagina- 
tion; the difficulty was, without discouraging him, to 
repress and control his fondness for decorative words. 

He said his farewell to Andover Hill on one of the 
sunniest of spring mornings, when the world seemed 
a dwelling-place of light and life; and it is hard to 
realize that he will never see another May. But, 
though his body be gone, his ardent unselfish spirit 
cannot perish, and he has left an impression which we 
shall long remember.

GUS EVANS WARDEN, '07 

" They who had all, gave all. Their half -writ story 

Lies in the empty halls they knew so well, 

But they, the knights of God, shall see His glory. 

And find the Grail ev'n in the fire of hell." 

Gus Evans Warden was born July 22, 1886, in En- 
deavor, Pennsylvania. He spent two years at Phillips 
Academy, from 1904 to 1906, and then entered La- 
Fayette College, where he graduated with the class 
of 1910. At LaFayette he was a member of the Chi 
Phi fraternity. In business he was connected with the 
Erie Railroad. On December 13, 1917, he enlisted in 
the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps, and was 
stationed first at Columbus Barracks and later at 
Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas. There he was 
stricken with pneumonia and died at Fort Sam Hous- 
ton Hospital, January 27, 1918. His commission as 
Second Lieutenant in the 20th Regiment of Engineers 
reached him while he was lying ill. He was buried at 
Portville, Pennsylvania, on February 4. 

Warden's commanding officer wrote of him, "He 
was every inch a man, a brave and courageous soldier." 
His life was given to his country no less than if he had 
died, as he would have desired, face to face with the 
enemy.

ALBERT DILLON STURTEVANT, '12 

" Oh, do not mourn for him, he heard his country's call, 
And answering, gave all he had to give; 
Yet though they die, they live; 
Not dead at all 
They who obeyed that call." 

N. M. H. 

Albert Dillon Sturtevant was the first aviator in 
either the army or the navy to be brought down in 
action in the service of the United States. On the 
morning of February 15, 1918, the large British sea- 
plane of which he was one of the pilots was ordered, 
together with another seaplane, to convoy a fleet of 
merchant vessels and destroyers from England to 
Holland. While waiting for their convoys, they were 
attacked by ten German machines. The other British 
plane escaped, but Sturtevant, as pilot, was obliged 
to carry on a running fight, in the course of which he 
brought down at least two of his opponents. Even- 
tually, however, he was forced over towards the Bel- 
gian shore, from which German land planes came out 
to join in the battle. With sixteen Hun machines 
attacking him, Sturtevant had no hope; he, with his 
crew of another pilot and three men, was brought 
down, and no trace of either plane or bodies has ever 
been found. Ralph D. Paine, who describes the con- 
test in his book, The Fighting Fleets, says : — 

"This was the finish of a whole year's training and prepara- 
tion, at home, in France, in England, — to be shot down with 
never a chance in his first contact with the enemy. So blind and 
illogical and pitiless is war, and yet the life of this Yale athlete 
and gallant gentleman was not thrown away. He dared and paid 

55 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

the price, flashing out of life like a meteor, in all the glory of 
audacious youth." 

Born May 2, 1894, Sturtevant came to Phillips 
Academy from Washington, D. C, in 1910, grad- 
uating two years later. His record in scholarship was 
excellent, and he had a quick and tenacious mind. No 
one who knew him will soon forget his genial smile and 
his attractive personality. Later at Yale he was cap- 
tain of the crew and one of the ablest men in his class. 

When America entered the war, Sturtevant was at 
Harvard Law School; but he at once volunteered, 
and, after being trained in the School of Aviation 
at Huntington, Long Island, received his Ensign's 
commission and was ordered overseas, sailing in Sep- 
tember, 1917. After about two months in France in 
intensive training on seaplanes, he was detailed by 
Admiral Sims to the British Naval Flying Station at 
Felixstowe, England. 

"Al" Sturtevant was a young man who had grown 
steadily in strength and influence over others. He had 
most of the qualities which belong to the wise leader, 
and he had a reserve force which would have made him 
a forceful personality. Our sense of his loss belongs to 
those "thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears." 

President Wilson wrote personally to Ensign 
Sturtevant's father, saying: "It was a death in the 
field of honor assuredlj% and there must be great pride 
in your heart that such was the case, but that does not 
alter the fact that you have lost a beloved son and my 
heart goes out to you in genuine sympathy."

PERRY DEAN GRIBBEN, '00 

" But trust that those we call the dead 
Are breathers of an ampler day 
For ever nobler ends." 

Perry Dean Gribben was born October 31, 1881, in 
St. Paul, Minnesota. After a year at Hill School, he 
came to Phillips Academy, and later graduated in 
1903 from Sheffield Scientific School. While at Yale, 
he was chairman of the Class Picture Committee. 
After leaving college, he became Secretary and Treas- 
urer of the Gribben Lumber Company in his native 
city. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted in the 
Signal Corps and was sent to Fort Omaha, Nebraska, 
where he was commissioned as First Lieutenant. On 
February 13, 1918, while on leave, he was badly in- 
jured in an automobile accident, and died a few hours 
later at his home in St. Paul.

LELAND JAMES HAGADORN, '13 

" It was always make or break with you. 
No half-way dawdling game, 
It was win or lose when we played, old man. 
And you played with death the same." 

V. L. K. {one of his comrades) . 

Leland James Hagadorn was born April 3, 1894, in 
Buffalo, New York. After attending schools in Olean, 
New York, he spent one year at Phillips Academy, 
and later graduated from Sheffield Scientific School 
in the class of 1916. In business he was connected with 
the Baldwin Locomotive Works and with the Union 
Petroleum Company; but upon our entrance into the 
war he enlisted and was sent to the Ithaca Ground 
School for Aviation. There he was selected as one of 
the first ten honor pupils to be sent to France for fur- 
ther training. He passed through several flying schools 
in that country, was commissioned as First Lieuten- 
ant in the Signal Corps, Aviation Section, and was 
finally assigned to Cazaux, France, for practice with 
the combat plane. 

On February 23, 1918, some officers watching trial 
flights saw the main body of an aeroplane coming 
down with one wing only, the other wing and several 
loose pieces of canvas falling more slowly behind the 
engine. They reached the debris within a minute after 
the crash, only to find that Lieutenant Hagadorn had 
been killed instantly. He had taken a nose dive with 
the motor full on, and the strain had proved too great 
for the machine. 

58 



HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

Lieutenant Hagadorn was buried with military 
honors, in a casket covered with mimosa flowers. A 
delegation of French aviators were present to do 
honor to one whom they had learned to respect and 
love.

HAROLD FIELD EADIE, '15 

" Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead ! 
These laid the world away; poured out the red 
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be 
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene. 
That men call age; and those who would have been. 
Their sons, they gave, their immortality." 

Rupert Brooke. 

Harold Field Eadie was fatally wounded while 
leading his men in action. The story is one of those 
dramatic incidents which seize the imagination. On 
the evening of Friday, March 1, 1918, the Germans 
made a raid on his sector in the trenches northwest of 
Toul. Lieutenant Eadie, who was then Acting Captain 
of Company C of the 103d Infantry, rallied a group 
of men with rifles and machine guns, went through 
the wire entanglements into No Man's Land, and 
there awaited the Hun retreat. As the enemy were 
repelled, Eadie and his detachment poured in a deadly 
fire, killing and wounding scores; but he himself was 
struck by a piece of shrapnel, which pierced his lung. 
One of his soldiers saw him "alongside a spitting 
machine gun, blazing away with his automatic pistol." 
He was carried to the hospital and an operation was 
performed immediately, but to no avail. He died early 
in the morning on March 2. Upon his casket was 
placed the French war cross, awarded to him for 
bravery. 

Born August 22, 1892, in Fall River, Massachu- 
setts, he received his early education in Utica, New 
York, and Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He entered Phil- 
lips Academy in 1911 and remained three years. He

played regularly on the Academy baseball nine in 
fielding positions ; he was captain of his class football 
team and won his letter on the school eleven; and he 
played on both class and school basketball teams. He 
was a member of the Phi Lambda Sigma society. In 
scholarship he was a faithful and earnest student, who 
made a most creditable record. 

Later Eadie went to Dartmouth College, where, as 
a Junior, he was one of the first to enlist. After win- 
ning at Plattsburg his commission as First Lieuten- 
ant, he was assigned to Camp Devens and then to 
Camp Bartlett. In September, 1917, he went over- 
seas with his regiment, which was a part of the famous 
26th, or Yankee, Division. 

It was natural that Eadie should be popular in 
school, for he was unusually vivacious, cheerful, and 
even-tempered. Every one liked him and respected 
him. As a soldier he had the same willing spirit which 
he had shown in a smaller way in contests on the ball 
field. His chaplain writes: — 

"He was a man who could be counted on always to throw him- 
self into anything which was for the good of the regiment." 

His Colonel said: — 

"The gallantry with which he did his duty, his constant alert- 
ness, his energy, were all an inspiration to the officers and an 
example to the men." 

But the finest tribute came from one of his own 
wounded soldiers : — 

"He was a fine officer, and, believe me, he took care of his 
men. Any one of his company would have gone through Hell at 
his order." 

Harold Eadie's noble death has already become part 
of school tradition, and forms one of the most glorious 
pages of Andover's history.

HAROLD PHILLIPS WILSON, '11 

" Not his, at peril's frown, 
A pulse of quicker beat; 
Not his to hesitate 
And parley hold with Fate, 
But proudly to fling down 
His gauntlet at her feet." 

Harold Phillips Wilson, born March 22, 1893, in 
Clearfield, Pennsylvania, came to Phillips Academy 
in 1909 and graduated two years later with a brilliant 
scholastic record. Among his various interests in 
school life were class baseball, the Mandolin Club, and 
the debating team. At his Commencement exercises in 
June, 1911, he read the Class Poem. He was, indeed, 
one of the most promising members of his class. After 
leaving Andover he entered Cornell, graduating in 
1915, with special honors in chemistry. He then en- 
gaged in business with the New Jersey Products Com- 
pany of New York City. 

Wilson enlisted in June, 1917, as a private in the 
United States Ambulance Service, Section 599, and 
was sent to Allentown, Pennsylvania, for training. 
He was promoted to be a Sergeant, first class, in his 
unit, which was preparing for overseas service. Un- 
fortunately he contracted pneumonia and, on March 
19, 1918, died in the hospital at Camp Crane.

Stood to their arms, and smiling died." 

Charles Amos Martin was born in Lawrence, Mas- 
sachusetts, December 13, 1893. After attending the 
Lawrence public schools, he came to Phillips Acad- 
emy in the autumn of 1911, but remained for only a 
short time. He then entered the employment of the 
American Woolen Company, and became the chief 
engineer of the factory at Utica, New York. On De- 
cember 13, 1917, he enlisted in the United States 
Naval Reserve Forces as Machinist's Mate, First 
Class. On March 23, 1918, he died, of pneumonia 
following influenza.

SCHUYLER LEE, '18 

" They went with songs to battle, they were young. 
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. 
They were stanch to the end against odds uncounted, 
They feU with their faces to the foe." 

Schuyler Lee, like "Alec" Bruce, "Jack" Wright, 
and "Bill" Taylor, his fellow members in the Andover 
Ambulance Unit, gave his life for the cause he loved. 
On their voyage over, the Andover youngsters were 
ridiculed by some supercilious collegians, and we are 
told that Schuyler "floored a college fellow double his 
size." Like many of the unit, he first selected camion 
work with the French Army ; but later, when another 
opening came, he volunteered for aviation and was 
accepted on August 1, 1917, for the LaFayette Fly- 
ing Corps. He followed with success the regular steps 
in training at various schools. On October 22 he wrote 
that he was "a breveted pilot, with wings on my col- 
lar — and everything." By November he had qualified 
as an avion de chasse, with the rank of Corporal. On 
January 10 he wrote that he was flying every day over 
Rheims Cathedral. A few weeks later General Petain 
reviewed the Escadrille, and gave Lee a notebook for 
a souvenir. 

His most spectacular combat occurred on February 
3, when, with four other members of his unit, he en- 
countered eight German planes. In the course of the 
fight, three Hun machines and one Frenchman were 
shot down; whereupon the Germans, although they 
still outnumbered their adversaries five to four, turned 
tail and fled to a position well within the range of their

own anti-aircraft batteries. When he returned to his 
base, Corporal Lee found that his machine was per- 
forated in twenty places by bullets from German 
rapid-fire guns. On April 12 he flew out over the hos- 
tile lines, and was last seen slowly descending, evi- 
dently with motor trouble. He was later reported on 
the German casualty lists as having been shot down 
near Montdidier, and there can be no reasonable 
doubt of his death. 

Schuyler Lee was born July 29, 1898, in Bloom- 
field, New Jersey. Entering Phillips Academy in 
1915 from the Haverford School, he remained until 
April, 1917. He was a member of the K. O. A. society, 
and a deacon in the Academy Church. At Andover 
he was exceedingly beloved, and, although but an 
Upper Middler when he withdrew, was recognized by 
teachers and schoolmates as one of the most promising 
boys in the Academy. As Principal Stearns wrote to 
his father, "Schuyler went to his death and his God, 
clean, strong, and unsullied." He lived true to his 
favorite passage in poetry : — 

" Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King — 
Else, wherefore born?"

LLOYD SEWARD ALLEN, '08 

" You burned clear flame, while he 
Who treads the endless march of dusty years 
Grows blind and choked with dust before he dies." 

Anonymous. 

Lloyd Seward Axlen came from a distinguished 
family, being the great-grandson of William H. Sew- 
ard. Born February 15, 1889, in Auburn, New York, 
he attended schools in that city and later in Washing- 
ton, where his father, the Honorable Frederick I. 
Allen, was Commissioner of Patents. In 1906 Allen 
entered Phillips Academy, but left before graduation 
in order to take up his course at Sheffield Scientific 
School. After receiving a diploma there in 1910, he 
spent two years as an instructor in the Evans School, 
Mesa, Arizona. He then engaged in contracting and 
construction work in Auburn and New York City. 
As a member of the famous Squadron A, he went for 
duty to the Mexican border, but was invalided home 
with a broken ankle. He took up the study of aviation 
and accepted a position in an airplane factory, where 
he made some important inventions. In the autumn of 
1917 he enlisted in the Aviation Section of the Signal 
Corps, and was sent first to the Ground School at 
Princeton and later to Dick Field in Texas. In April, 
1918, he was assigned to the Wilbur Wright Aviation 
Field at Dayton, Ohio. There, on May 1, while he was 
making a "solo" flight, his machine crashed into a 
school building and he was instantly killed.

STUART FREEMAN, '12 

" Blame not the shears that slit the thin yarn thread. 
Though life be lost, immortal is the praise !" 

H. W. Bliss. 

Stuart Freeman, although a young man, had al- 
ready made a name for himself as a lawer in his native 
city of Portland, Oregon. Born on May 5, 1894, he 
came to Phillips Academy in 1910, but left before his 
year was completed. At Leland Stanford University, 
where he studied for two years, he was a member of 
Zeta Psi. He then took the law course at the Univer- 
sity of Oregon, and settled down with the firm of Wil- 
bur, Spencer, and Beckett in Portland. In May, 1917, 
he enlisted, and graduated in October from the Berke- 
ley Ground School of Aviation. On November 18 he 
arrived in France, and, after several months of train- 
ing, had, by March, 1918, earned the double wings of 
a Reserve Military Aviator. He was killed in a rail- 
road accident on May 10, 1918. His commission as 
Second Lieutenant reached his family on May 12, the 
day he was buried.

WILLIAM BECKER HAGAN, '17 

" Courage came to you with your boyhood's grace 
Of ardent life and limb. 
Each day new dangers steeled you to the test, 
To ride, to climb, to swim. 

" So when you went to play another game 
' You could not but be brave." 

Winifred M. Letts. 

William Becker Hag an was one of the first Ameri- 
can boys to join the Ambulance Field Service in 
France. Born in Dorchester, Massachusetts, on Feb- 
ruary 12, 1898, he received his early education in Bos- 
ton, especially at Stone School, where he was captain 
of the nine. At Phillips Academy, Hagan played 
hockey and was a member of Phi Lambda Sigma. 
Shortly after leaving Andover in 1916 he went abroad 
and drove an ambulance for six months, being sta- 
tioned near Rheims and Verdun. He then returned to 
this country, expecting to enlist in aviation, but his 
application was refused. Undaunted, he went to Can- 
ada and entered the Royal Air Force. As he wrote, "I 
had to put my hand on the Bible and swear in the 
king's name, but this did not bother me when I thought 
that after all it was for the one big cause." As a cadet 
he was making rapid progress towards a commission ; 
but unfortunately he was attacked by influenza, which 
developed into pneumonia, and he died May 11, 1918. 
His character is shown at its best in his letters to his 
family, in which he displays the loftiest kind of 
patriotism.

RAYMOND TENNEY BALCH, 14 

" So goes the soldier, fallen but victorious, 
And leaves behind a twilight in the world." 

Asquith. 

Raymond Tenney Balch was born December 8, 
1894, in Newburyport, Massachusetts. He entered 
Phillips Academy in 1912, but left before completing 
his course. After some business training with the 
American Trust Company of Boston and with Blake 
Brothers of Boston and New York, he enlisted in the 
Massachusetts Naval Cadet School, from which he 
graduated, March 24, 1917, with the rank of Ensign. 
He was ordered to duty with the 9th Deck Division, 
but was prevented by a physical defect from going 
into active service. Disappointed in his hopes, he 
joined the Royal Flying Corps at Toronto, and 
trained at Bayside and at Fort Worth, Texas, where 
he was commissioned Second Lieutenant, November 
26, 1917. Going overseas in December, he was licensed 
a First-Class Pilot in February and promoted to be 
First Lieutenant on April 1.. On May 25, 1918, two 
days before he expected to go across the Channel for 
combat duty, his airplane collapsed while he was at 
aerial target practice, and he fell to death, at Castle 
Bromwick, near Birmingham, England.

JULIUS FRANKLIN SEELYE, '18 

" Life is no life to him that dares not die." 

Sir Henry Newbolt. 

Julius Franklin Seel ye was born June 8, 1899, in 
Wooster, Ohio. After a year at Phillips Academy in 
the class of 1918, he transferred to Monson Academy, 
where he graduated in 1917. On June 18 of the same 
year he enlisted and was sent to Camp Syracuse with 
Company C of the 48th Infantry. On August 26 he 
was promoted to the grade of private, first class. In 
September he was ordered to Camp Hill, Newport 
News, Virginia, where he was made a Corporal. In 
January he was sent to Pig Point to guard ordnance, 
and the unusually strenuous work gradually brought 
him to the stage of exhaustion. After an illness of ten 
weeks, he was brought to the hospital at Camp Stuart, 
where, on May 26, 1918, he died of pneumonia. The 
funeral services were held on the afternoon of Memo- 
rial Day in the Amherst College Chapel, and were 
conducted entirely by members of his family. 

His letters, as well as the words of the surgeon and 
nurses, testify to Seelye's patience in combating ill- 
ness. His superior officers also have written to praise 
his strength of character and fortitude under suffering.

JOHN LENDRUM MITCHELL, JR., '13 

" We see but this, that when the moment came 

You raised on high, then drained, the solemn cup — 
The grail of death; that, touched by valor's flame. 
The kindled spirit burned the body up." 

Oscar C. A. Child. 

John Lendrum Mitchell, Jr., was born April 20, 
1893, in Washington, D. C, during his father's term 
as United States Senator from Wisconsin. He spent 
one year at Phillips Academy, but finished his pre- 
paratory work at Cascadilla School. From there he 
went to the University of Wisconsin, where he played 
on the football eleven and was captain of the crew. 
He was a member of the Chi Psi fraternity. Imme- 
diately after graduation in 1917, he enlisted in the 
Signal Corps, Aviation Section, and was sent for 
training to the Aviation Ground School at the Massa- 
chusetts Institute of Technology. His course com- 
pleted, he was ordered overseas, and, on September 
29, 1917, received his commission as First Lieutenant. 
He was later assigned to duty at Toul, France, where, 
on May 27, 1918, he was killed by the accidental fall 
of his machine. He lies buried in Cemetery 108, the 
Sebastopol Hospital Cemetery, four kilometers north 
of Toul. 

Lieutenant Mitchell was powerful physically and 
had something of the Berserker's spirit. Colonel 
Watrous, his commanding officer, wrote, "He was a 
perfect specimen of manhood and was loved by every- 
one with whom he came in contact." In him his country 
lost a gallant soldier.

EDWARD HINES, JR., 17 

" With generous hands they paid the price 
Unconscious of the cost. 
But we must judge the sacrifice 
By all that they have lost. 

" No lavish love of future years, 
No passionate regret, 
No gift of sacrifice or tears 

Can ever pay the debt." 

Edwaed Hines, Jr., was commissioned on his twenty- 
first birthday, July 24, 1917, as a Second Lieutenant, 
at the Officers' Training School, Fort Sheridan, Illi- 
nois. After a few weeks with the 61st Infantry at 
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he went overseas on De- 
cember 23 with the 4th Machine Gun Battalion, acting 
as Aide to Captain William R. White, the officer in 
command. During the voyage he was taken so se- 
riously ill that he had to be removed at the port of 
debarkation on stretchers; but he protested against 
being placed in an English hospital and begged to be 
allowed to accompany his battalion to France. With 
the full knowledge that he had a severe heart lesion, he 
insisted on going to the front, and for a time served as 
Town Mayor and Battalion Adjutant; but, although 
he had partly recovered, the hardships which he was 
obliged to undergo were a continuous strain on his al- 
ready overtaxed and weakened body. In March, 1918, 
the need for machine gun officers was very great, and 
Lieutenant Hines, in spite of his illness, entered the 
trenches and remained for three weeks. While work- 
ing in a gun entrenchment, however, he fell uncon-

HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

scious and was carried to a first-aid hospital. There he 
contracted rheumatism, followed by pneumonia. He 
died on June 4, 1918, at Base Hospital No. 18, near 
Chaumont. His fortitude in remaining with his com- 
rades until he was too exhausted to stand is one of 
those acts of quiet heroism which are sometimes more 
noble than more spectacular deeds of bravery. 

Lieutenant Hines was born on July 24, 1896, in 
Chicago, Illinois. He entered Phillips Academy in 
1913, but left two years later, with his course incom- 
plete, in order to enter Yale. At Andover he was a 
member of the Phi Lambda Delta society. He had a 
singularly pleasing personality, entirely modest and 
unpretentious. By nature he was one of the most af- 
fectionate, kindly, and unselfish of boys. Yet, as his 
story shows, he had a persistence and a resolution 
which, had he lived, would have marked him out for 
success. He had already received his promotion to be 
First Lieutenant, and had been recommended for a 
Captaincy.

ELLIOT ADAMS CHAPIN, '14 

" One crowded hour of glorious life 
Is worth an age without a name." 

Sir Walter Scott. 

Elliot Adams Chapin is still remembered on An- 
dover Hill as a boy of unusual personal charm. Un- 
like most of those who spend only one year at Phillips 
Academy, he made a host of warm friends. He played 
for some weeks on the football squad and was elected 
to Phi Delta Sigma; and he was also exceptionally 
popular in his class and in the school at large. 

He was born May 10, 1895, in West Somerville, 
Massachusetts. After graduating from Andover in 
1914, he went to Harvard, but left college before 
completing his course in order to enlist in the British 
Royal Flying Corps, as a member of which he was 
commissioned First Lieutenant in the spring of 1918. 
On June 27, while bombing Thionville, he was en- 
gaged in combat by a German plane at a height of 
thirteen thousand feet; an incendiary bullet pierced 
his petrol tank, and his machine fell in flames. His 
friend. Lieutenant Walker, of the same squadron 
(the 99th), who was only fifty feet away from Lieu- 
tenant Chapin when he fell, wrote: — 

"When he saw death staring him in the face, I saw him turn 
around to his observer, reach out his hand, and shake hands with 
him. He died a hero's death, unafraid, and was a son for any 
parent to be proud of. We all loved him, and he was as fine a 
type of Christian manhood as could possibly be found."

JOHN PROUT WEST, '13 

" That pain may cease he yields his flesh to pain. 
To banish war he must a warrior be. 
He dwells in Night eternal Dawn to see. 
And gladly dies, abundant life to gain." 

Joyce Kilmer. 

John Prout West was born October 3, 1894, in Rut- 
land, Vermont. During his two years at Phillips 
Academy, he sang on the Glee Club and made a com- 
mendable record in his studies. At Sheffield Scientific 
School, where he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta, 
he graduated in 1916, and spent the following sum- 
mer in training with the Yale Battery. In May, 1917, 
he attended the Plattsburg Officers' Training Camp, 
but in July went to Canada and enlisted in the Royal 
Air Forces. After a course of instruction in Canada, 
England, and Scotland, he received his commission 
as Second Lieutenant on October 12, 1917. He was 
not ordered to combat duty until April, 1918, but he 
soon had three German planes to his credit and was 
making a reputation as a gallant and fearless fighter. 
On June 28, however, he was overcome by an enemy 
airman and his body fell behind the German lines.

STANWOOD ELLIOTT HILL, 18 

" 'Qui procul hinc,' the legend's writ, — 
The frontier grave is far away, — 
'Qui ante diem periit; 

Sed miles, sed pro patria.' " 

Sir Henry Newbolt. 

Stanwood Elliott Hill entered Phillips Academy 
in 1916, but was forced by illness to leave school after 
onty a few weeks. Even in that short period, however, 
he had shown unusual athletic ability, and had won 
the recognition of his fellows. 

He was born in Boston, May 8, 1895, and came to 
Andover after some years in the Huntington and 
Berkeley Schools. In May, 1917, after his recovery 
from sickness, he enlisted with Company A, 14th 
Engineers, and, on July 29, went overseas. He and 
nine others were the first American soldiers in the 
trenches, their entrance having been made in Septem- 
ber, at Telegraph Hill, near Arras. Hill was with that 
famous detachment which, in April, 1918, stopped 
the German advance at a critical moment for the 
Allies. His regiment, after heroic fighting at Cambrai, 
was sent back to Calais to operate a small broad gauge 
railroad. There he was stricken with influenza, but 
was discharged from the hospital as cured. On July 3 
he was again taken ill with meningitis and removed to 
an isolation hospital at Calais, where he died, July 6, 
1918, without having regained consciousness. On July 
9 he was buried with full military honors, and all the 
officers of the regiment followed his body to its last 
resting-place in the British Cemetery, overlooking the 
English Channel.

GEORGE WAITE GOODWIN, '12 

" He felt his country's need ; he knew 
The work her children had to do; 

And when, at last, he heard the call 
In her behalf to serve and dare . . . 

He stood the unquestioned peer of all." 

, Whittier. 

George Waite Goodwin was born July 31, 1895, in 
Glens Falls, New York. At Phillips Academy he 
spent one year, graduating in 1912 with honors in all 
his subjects; and at Yale his record was equally cred- 
itable. He completed one year at Harvard Law 
School, but sailed on June 25, 1917, for France to join 
the American Ambulance Field Service. While sta- 
tioned near the Verdun front, he was decorated by the 
French government for bravery. When his term of 
enlistment was completed, he, like so many Andover 
men, enlisted in aviation and was commissioned a 
Second Lieutenant, May 18, 1918. 

On the morning of July 15, at Chateauroux, he was 
starting out for a "solo" flight, when a French ma- 
chine, proceeding in another direction, suddenly 
swerved, cutting off the tail of his plane. He fell one 
hundred meters to the ground, and never regained 
consciousness. He was buried in the beautiful Ameri- 
can cemetery at Chateauroux; and all the members 
of the command, together with several French officers 
and representatives from the staff of the Command- 
ing General, attended the funeral. 

Letters from his comrades indicate that Lieutenant 
Goodwin had shown great promise as an aviator. His 

77

generous and sensitive nature made friends every- 
where, and even men who had known him but slightly 
wrote to his family to express their sorrow at his 
death. Lieutenant Norman C. Fitts, his companion at 
Andover and Yale, said: — 

"He was easily that one of us who was best liked by the French 
officers and instructors at the school."

LESTER CLEMENT BARTON, '02 

" You snatched the sword, and answered as you went, 
For fear your eager feet should be outrun, 
And with the flame of your bright youth unspent 
Went shouting up the pathway to the sun." 

Mrs. Robertson Glasgow. 

Lester Clement Barton was commissioned as Sec- 
ond Lieutenant at Fort Sheridan in November, 1917, 
and went overseas in December as an officer in Bat- 
tery B, 101st Field Artillery. After some further 
training at Saumur, he was sent to the front. In the 
battle of Belleau Wood, on July 18, 1918, Lieutenant 
Barton displayed the utmost heroism. He had just 
carried back "through a hell of shell fire" the seventh 
wounded soldier from his platoon when a shell struck 
his dugout and he was instantly killed. On January 12, 
1919, while his brother and sister were visiting the 
battlefield, they found a muddy and discolored hand- 
kerchief on which was woven unmistakably the name 
of Lester Clement Barton. 

Lieutenant Barton was born June 27, 1884, in 
Maywood, Illinois. After leaving Phillips Academy, 
he graduated from Yale in 1906 and then studied law, 
spending one year at the University of Chicago and 
two years at Harvard. In 1910 he opened a law office 
in Chicago. He was at one time an assistant state's 
attorney for Cook County, and he was later engaged 
in examining titles for the Chicago Title and Trust 
Company. 

In courage, loyalty, and disregard of self Lieuten-

ant Barton was worthy of the best traditions of the 
American Army. His men spoke of him always with 
respect and love, and looked upon him as a gallant 
and fearless officer.

ROBERT MORSS LOVETT, '14 

"And so espoused to death, with blood he seal'd 
A testament of noble-ending love." 

Shakspere. 

Robert Morss Lovett was killed in action in the ever 
memorable attack through the Bois de Retz, on July 
18, 1918. The story of his death is intensely dramatic. 
On the morning of Thursday, July 18, his regiment, 
the 103d Infantry, was ordered to go "over the top" 
and capture a hill manned by German machine guns. 
His platoon, at the signal, started out through wheat- 
fields, with the growing wheat fully a yard high, fac- 
ing the fire of snipers all the way and suffering heavy 
losses. As they were crawling along. Lieutenant 
Lovett was hit in the thigh, and said, "That is a funny 
place to get hit." Soon after the order came to retreat, 
but, as he was creeping back, he was shot through the 
head and instantly killed. When the litter-bearers 
went out later for the wounded, they discovered that 
the Germans had stolen the dead man's watch and 
money, — everything he had, including letters. He was 
buried in the little cemetery at Bouresche, where his 
grave is cared for by French civilians. Throughout 
the attack, according to eyewitnesses. Lieutenant 
Lovett was brave to the point of recklessness, and, 
taking the dangerous positions himself, spared his men 
as much as possible. 

Lovett was born July 21, 1896, in Boston, the son 
of Professor Robert Morss Lovett, later of the Uni- 
versity of Chicago, but now editor of The Dial. At 
Phillips Academy, where he spent three years, he 

81 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

played on the lacrosse team. His classroom work, 
especially in English, was of a high order. He was a 
member of the class of 1918 at Harvard, but withdrew 
in order to attend the Plattsburg Training Camp in 
1917. His commission as Second Lieutenant came in 
August, 1917, and in September he went overseas as 
an officer in Company F, 103d Infantry, 26th 
(Yankee) Division.

HOWARD WALTER BEAL, '94 

" Whose passions not his masters are ; 
Whose soul is still prepared for death. 
Untied unto the world by care 
Of public fame or private breath." 

Sir Henry Wotton. 

Howard Walter Beal was doing his bit for the 
Allied cause long before America entered the Great 
War. The smoke was still rising from Belgian villages, 
when, on September 4, 1914, he abandoned his medi- 
cal practice in Worcester, Massachusetts, and sailed 
with the first American Red Cross ship for Europe. 
He was put in charge of the American Women's War 
Hospital of two hundred and fifty beds at Paignton, 
England, and remained there for fourteen months, 
doing a work which won from Englishmen the highest 
praise. A nervous breakdown then forced him to 
return to America; but, when the United States en- 
tered the war, he, as an officer in the Medical Reserve 
Corps, was called at once into service, with the com- 
mission of Major. Sailing August 9, 1917, he was 
made Surgeon in charge of the Paris district, but 
later, having requested a station at the front, he was 
made Consulting Surgeon of the 1st Division. On 
July 18, 1918, near the village of Mortefontaine, 
south of Soissons, he was wounded, and died two days 
later at Base Hospital No. 1, Neuilly, Paris. 

Major Beal was born November 26, 1869, in Ban- 
gor, Maine. He graduated from Phillips Academy in 
1894 and from Harvard Medical School in 1898. In 
the Spanish War he held a commission as Second 
Lieutenant. He was a man of steadfast and earnest 
qualities, with the spirit of self-sacrifice in his heart.

JOHN SHAW PFAFFMAN, '12 

"Lord, guard and guide the men who fly 
Through the great spaces of the sky. 
Be with them traversing the air 
In dark'ning storm or sunshine fair." 

Mary C. D. Hamilton. 

John Shaw Pfaffman was born April 27, 1894, in 
Quincy, Massachusetts. After an early education at 
the schools in his native town, he came to Phillips 
Academy in 1911 and remained one year, winning 
some distinction on his class athletic teams. At Har- 
vard he was prominent because of his dramatic ability. 
He later entered the American Ambulance Service 
and completed the six months' term of enlistment. He 
then applied for aviation, was accepted in October, 
1917, and went through a course of instruction. On 
July 21, 1918, he went up for his last flight at six 
thousand feet, at the satisfactory completion of which 
he would have received his brevet as pilot. While he 
was returning to his hangar, he was caught in an air- 
pocket and, at the same moment, assailed by a power- 
ful gust of wind, which tore off the wing of his plane. 
In spite of his efforts to right himself, he fell and was 
dashed to death. His funeral was attended by throngs 
of comrades and by French officers and civilian sym- 
pathizers. Lieutenant Mayeur of the Headquarters 
Staff pronounced a eulogy, and the dead cadet was 
laid to rest in the cemetery at Voves.

HAROLD CLINTON WASGATT, '16 

" You wore courage as you wore your youth 
With carelessness and joy." 

W. M. Letts. 

Haeold Clinton Wasgatt was born July 13, 1896, 
in Boston, Massachusetts. At Everett High School 
he played on the championship football eleven, and 
later, at Phillips Academy, he made the school team. 
His combination of a powerful physique with a mind 
quick of apprehension made him a formidable oppo- 
nent. At the close of his one year at Andover, he was 
ready for college, and entered Massachusetts Insti- 
tute of Technology in the following autumn. In the 
spring of 1917 he attended the Officers' Training 
Camp at Plattsburg and received there his commission 
as Second Lieutenant in the Reserve Corps. A few 
days later, however, while he was at Camp Devens, he 
learned that an examination which he had taken for a 
Lieutenancy in the Regular Army had been success- 
ful, and he was ordered, first to Fort Leavenworth, 
and later to Gettysburg, where he was attached to the 
59th Infantry. When his regiment was sent to Char- 
lotte, North Carolina, Lieutenant Wasgatt was as- 
signed to Fort Sill, for instruction in machine gun fire, 
and, after completing the course of eight weeks, was 
returned to his regiment with the rank of First Lieu- 
tenant and made commanding officer of its Machine 
Gun Company. He went overseas in May, 1918. 

Very little is known of the circumstances of his 
death. On the morning of July 18 he went "over the 

85 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

top" with the 59th Infantry, and, while charging with 
his company, was struck in the forehead by a machine 
gun bullet. The wound proved to be mortal, and he 
died some days later. The testimony of those who saw 
him in that last attack shows that he was cool and 
determined to the end, and went steadily forward in 
the teeth of the most terrifying fire. He lies buried in 
the small military cemetery just outside of Priez, 
about ten miles north of Chateau-Thierry.

JOHN LEWIS ROSS, '15 

" For thee their pilgrim swords were tried. 
Thy flaming word was in their scrips, 
They battled, they endured, they died 

To make a new Apocalypse. 
Master and Maker, God of Right, 
The soldier dead are at thy gate, 
Who kept the spears of honor bright 
And freedom's house inviolate." 

John Drinkwater. 

John Lewis Ross left behind him a record of heroic 
exploits unsurpassed in the annals of the war. In 
April, 1917, he enlisted in the famous 7th Regiment 
of the New York National Guard, but, in order to get 
to France sooner, volunteered for the 69th Regiment, 
and became a private in Company K, 165th Infantry, 
in the glorious 42d, or Rainbow, Division. While at 
Camp Mills, he was made a Corporal; and he sailed 
for France on October 31, 1917. In the trenches, 
March 18, 1918, he won his Sergeancy. During the big 
gas attack of March 21, in which his company suffered 
severely. Sergeant Ross and a comrade carried a 
wounded soldier through unknown woods under heavy 
shell fire to a dressing-station. He then returned to the 
trenches and stood guard alone throughout that night, 
for his entire platoon were so badly gassed that they 
were helpless. On the following morning they were 
led out, blind and burned, but safe; and Sergeant 
Ross was obliged to spend two months in a hospital 
before he recovered from the burns which he had re- 
ceived. On June 1 he rejoined his company, only to 
meet death in action, July 29, 1918, in the terrible 
battle of the Ourcq River. 

87 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Sergeant Ross was only twenty years old at the 
time of his death. Born April 25, 1898, he spent three 
years at Phillips Academy, but left in 1914 in order 
to go to Englewood High School. Although he passed 
his preliminary examinations for Princeton, he de- 
cided to enter business. At the time when war broke 
out, he was active in the "Billy" Sunday campaign in 
New York City. 

The calm bravery which young Americans of Ser- 
geant Ross's type showed in meeting critical situations 
is one of the miracles of the war. By nature quiet and 
peaceful, he rose in emergencies to heroic stature, and 
fought with a desperation and a resolute fury which 
can never be forgotten. 

His chaplain in the 165th Infantry wrote as fol- 
lows : — 

"Even in this life, where we have to get hardened to death, 
his loss is still distinctly felt. Practically every man in the regi- 
ment is known to me personally, but John stood out. I tried to 
get him the Croix de Guerre for gallantry in action during the big 
gas attack. . . . He had the kind of death he would have asked 
for if it had to come."

DOUGLAS BANNAN GREEN, '00 

" Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart. 
That God has given you a priceless dower. 
To live in these great times and have your part 
In Freedom's crowning hour." 

Douglas Bannan Green was a First Lieutenant in 
Company H, 168th Infantry, belonging to the 42d, or 
Rainbow, Division. He arrived overseas on December 
12, 1917, and took an active part in the strenuous 
campaigns east of Rheims and the Ourcq River. On 
July 29, 1918, the Battalion Adjutant having been 
killed in action, Lieutenant Green was assigned as 
Battalion Adjutant, but was returned to his com- 
pany two days later; on August 1 he led his platoon 
in an attack on Hill 212 north of the town of Sergy, — 
the town that changed hands nine times in twenty- 
four hours. The attack accomplished its objective, but 
early in the charge Lieutenant Green received a 
wound in the abdomen from a machine gun bullet. He 
was rescued by two of his men under heavy fire, and 
carried back by stretcher-bearers, but died the same 
day. 

Lieutenant Green was born June 26, 1881. After 
graduating from Phillips Academy, he went to Yale, 
where for two years he was captain of the college base- 
ball team. He was a member of Psi Upsilon. In 1906 
he graduated from the New York Law School and at 
once began practice with the firm of Hitchings and 
Palliser in New York City. He went to the Plattsburg 
Ofiicers' Training Camp in 1917, and there won his 
commission as First Lieutenant. 

89 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

On January 19, 1919, a memorial service was held 
for Lieutenant Green in his native city of Pottsville, 
Pennsylvania, and many of his classmates came long 
distances to testify to their affection for him and their 
regret at his death. One of his last letters, written to 
his sister, Mrs. E. D. Smith of Pottsville, illustrates 
his determined and devoted spirit: — 

"There isn't anything that I would rather do than go over and 
fight the Germans. So, whatever you may think about it, just 
remember that I'm doing what I want to do, and something that 
I wouldn't give up my chance of doing for all the rest of my 
natural life. When it's all over, you'll be glad to be able to say 
that I went over and did my duty. Every one has to suffer some to 
win this war, and, if my going is hard for you, think that that is 
the part you are taking in the greatest thing that the civilized 
world has ever done. Giving up something for the cause is a real 
privilege, it seems to me, and you certainly would not want me to 
be deprived of that privilege."

GEORGE LESLIE HOWARD, '02 

" And if you be done to the death, what then 
If you battled the best you could; 
If you played your part in the world of men; 
Why the Critic will call it good." 

George Leslie Howard was born March 4, 1884, in 
Malone, New York. At Phillips Academy he was a 
member of the class of 1902, but did not graduate. 
After one year at Sheffield Scientific School, he went 
into business with Austin, Nichols and Company of 
New York City. He later returned to Malone as 
manager of the Andrus-Robinson Company of that 
city. 

At the outbreak of the Mexican trouble in 1916, 
Howard enlisted in Company K, 1st Infantry, New 
York National Guard, and, on June 26, 1917, was 
commissioned a Second Lieutenant and assigned to 
the Regimental Supply Company. After serving for 
some weeks as Aide to Colonel Bates, he was trans- 
ferred on November 10 to Company L, 105th Infan- 
try, and sailed, on May 7, 1918, for France with the 
27th Division. On July 1 he was promoted to the rank 
of First Lieutenant. On August 10, 1918, he was 
severely wounded near Esqueltecq, France, and died 
on the same day.

EGBERT FOSTER TETLEY, '13 

" He is dead who will not fight ; 
And who dies fighting has increase." 

Julian Grenfell. 

Egbert Foster Tetley, at the Andover Commence- 
ment of 1913, when Colonel Theodore Roosevelt was 
the guest of honor, spoke in the Potter contest and 
won so many other prizes that he was a conspicuous 
figure. On August 10, 1918, a little more than five 
years later, he laid down his life in France. 

Tetley was born December 8, 1893, in Methuen, 
Massachusetts. After four successful years in Phil- 
lips Academy, he entered Brown University, where 
he continued to make a brilliant record. In his Senior 
year, however, he left to attend the Officers' Training 
Camp at Plattsburg, where he was commissioned a 
Second Lieutenant. He was assigned to the 47th In- 
fantry, and, after some months at Camp Greene, 
sailed overseas in May, 1918. He was shortly pro- 
moted to be First Lieutenant, but was later killed in 
action near Fismes at the head of his men. 

Before leaving Brown, Lieutenant Tetley had re- 
ceived an appointment as Instructor in English in that 
college. It was a position for which he was well quali- 
fied, for all his tastes were literary and his heart would 
have been in his work. But he was not destined to live 
out his life in book-lined rooms among cloistered halls. 
The blood which might have grown sluggish in the 
study was poured out, warm and ruddy, for his coun- 
try in her hour of danger. His example is nobler than 
if he had lived out his tale of three score and ten. 

92 



FRANK RONALD SIMMONS, '03 

"With calmest courage he was ever ready 
To teach that action was the truth of thought." 

Lowell. 

Frank Ronald Simmons has been rightly called a 
"Hero of the Silent Service." Born in Providence, 
Rhode Island, May 16, 1885, he graduated from Phil- 
lips Academy in 1903 and from Yale College in 1907. 
He studied architecture in Massachusetts Institute of 
Technology, but was more attracted by painting, and 
established himself in an atelier in Paris. There, in the 
first months of the war, he acted as Secretary of the 
Committee for the Relief of Tuberculous French Sol- 
diers; and his knowledge of French and French cus- 
toms recommended him to Major (now General) 
Marlborough Churchill, who had come to Paris on a 
military mission in March, 1917. Simmons was instru- 
mental in evolving the system of intelligence work on 
which depended the successful cooperation of Ameri- 
can forces with those of the French. In August, 1917, 
he accepted a commission as First Lieutenant, and in 
February, 1918, he was promoted to a Captaincy. He 
was transferred to the General Staff and assigned to 
the Intelligence Section of the Service of Supply, in 
a most responsible position. While on a mission to 
Marseilles, he was stricken with double pneumonia, 
and died, August 12, 1918. His long period of strain 
and his weakness from overwork made him an easy 
victim. His recommendation for a majority had been 
sent in shortly before his death. 

93 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Captain Simmons was a man of vigorous intellect 
and resolute purpose. His tact in bringing about rela- 
tions of intimacy between French and American offi- 
cers won him commendation from high quarters, and 
his army superiors paid him sincere tribute at the time 
of his funeral.

ALEXANDER BERN BRUCE, '11 

" A soldier, with a soldier's loyal faith ; who sees 

God still the same when the swords of the world are bared; 
And waits with firm assurance for His dark decrees, 
Resolute, serene, prepared." 

George Bostrevor. 

Alexander Bern Bruce was the only member of the 
Phillips Academy teaching staff to lose his life in the 
Great War. His colleagues there knew him as one of 
the quietest -and most modest of men, one who per- 
formed his duties willingly and efficiently, without 
any ostentation or craving for applause. 

"Alec" Bruce was by nature a scholar. Born in 
Seattle, May 3, 1894, he later came east with his 
family and was sent to Andover, where he was on the 
honor roll for four consecutive years and graduated 
in 1911 with distinction. At Harvard he was elected 
a member of Phi Beta Kappa. In the autumn of 1915 
he returned to Andover as Assistant in Chemistry, 
living in Williams Hall. When the Andover Ambu- 
lance Unit was organized in the spring of 1917, Bruce 
went abroad with "Fred" Daly in charge of it, and 
later volunteered for camion work with the French 
Army. When his stipulated term of enlistment ex- 
pired, he joined the LaFayette Escadrille, went 
through a course of training in aviation, was event- 
ually commissioned a Second Lieutenant, and was 
assigned to the 94th Aero Pursuit Squadron. On 
August 17, 1918, while he was engaged in combat near 
Cruaux with several German planes, his machine 
brushed wings with that of another pilot, and he fell 

95 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

nearly two miles. Although his body was not mangled, 
his neck was broken and he was evidently killed 
instantly. 

Bruce's manly Christian character needs no eulogy. 
One of his companions abroad wrote, "Everybody who 
knew him recognized him as one of the cleanest, most 
straightforward chaps in the crowd." Another of his 
friends said of him, "In the years he had lived, few as 
they were, he made a record of brilliant achievements 
in the classroom and on the battlefield. Surely he has 
not lived in vain." In the early days of our war many 
men talked much about what they planned to do. 
"Alec" Bruce said very little; but when the hour 
struck, he did more than talk, — he went. His career 
is an inspiration to all true Americans.

LEVI SANDERSON TENNEY, '16 

" That other generations might possess — 

From shame and menace free in years to come — 
A richer heritage of happiness, 

He marched to that heroic martyrdom." 

Alan Seeger. 

Levi Sanderson Tenney was born June 15, 1897, in 
Glen Ridge, New Jersey. He spent only one year at 
Phillips Academy, graduating in the class of 1916. 
He is remembered as a quiet, conscientious boy, al- 
ways pleasant but somewhat reserved. Although he 
entered the class of 1920 at Yale College, he withdrew 
in February, 1917, to take a position with the National 
City Bank of New York City. At about the same time 
he joined Company L of the famous 7th Regiment of 
the New York National Guard, to which "Charlie" 
Gould of his own class also belonged. When this was 
mustered into the federal service as the 107th Infan- 
try, Tenney went with it to Camp Wadsworth. In 
May, 1918, the regiment went overseas as part of the 
27th Division, which joined the British forces on the 
Flanders battlefront. In their very first fight, on 
August 20, 1918, he was killed. His father writes: — 

"He was anxious to see action, chafed at being kept back so 
long, and entered into it fearlessly, with a light heart. We have 
had a number of letters from his companions in the company, who 
speak of his constant cheerfulness. He had no office. He is spoken 
of in the government communications as a first-class private. . . . 
Of course we miss him, but we feel that he did his duty."

JAMES ROBERTSON CAREY, JR., '11 

" They poured their spirits out in pride 
They throbbed away the price of years: 
Now that dear ground is glorified 
With dreams, with tears." 

James Robertson Carey, Jr., was born May 11, 
1893, in Salem, Ohio. At Phillips Academy, where he 
was a member of the class of 1911, he made an excel- 
lent record in his studies and was popular among his 
mates. Graduating from the Sheffield Scientific School 
in 1914, he entered the Treasurer's Department of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad, making his home at Sewick- 
ley, Pennsylvania. Shortly after the American declar- 
ation of war he enlisted and was sent to the Officers' 
Training School at Fort Niagara ; from there he went 
to the Aviation School at Cornell and later to the 
testing ground at Mineola. In October, 1917, he was 
ordered overseas, and continued his practice work at 
Issoudun. After spending some months at Foggia, 
Italy, he returned in April, 1918, to Issoudun, re- 
ceived his commission as Second Lieutenant, and was 
placed in a combat squadron. On September 4, while 
he was flying from his base to the front, his machine 
collapsed, and he fell to his death in the park of 
Chatillon-sur- Seine. There he was buried with special 
military and civic honors, a fitting tribute to one Avho 
had given his life for his country.

PAUL WAMELINK WILSON, '04 

" How sleep the brave, who sink to rest 
By all their country's wishes blest!" 

Campbell. 

Paul Wamelink Wilson was killed September 12, 
1918, at Fort Sheridan, Illinois, by the accidental dis- 
charge of a gun. He had attended the Officers' Train- 
ing School at Fort Benjamin Harrison, where he had 
been commissioned as First Lieutenant in the Field 
Artillery. He was then assigned, first to Camp Grant, 
and later, in February, 1918, to Fort Sheridan, as an 
officer in the 28th Trench Mortar Battery. There he 
made a brilliant record, standing highest among the 
officers at the post in the mathematical tests. He had 
also been appointed Judge Advocate for the camp 
general court. His loss was deeply felt by his associates 
and by the men in his battery. 

Wilson was born July 12, 1885, in Cleveland, Ohio. 
He came to Phillips Academy in 1903, and left a year 
later in order to enter Sheffield Scientific School. At 
the conclusion of his college work, he went into busi- 
ness, and was for some years with the Westinghouse 
Electric and Manufacturing Company. In 1911 he 
became Secretary-Treasurer of the Electric Respi- 
rone Company of Cleveland, Ohio, and three years 
later was made Secretary and Treasurer of the Haver- 
shaw Crushed Stone Company of New York City. He 
was with this company at the time of his enlistment.

ROBERT HOWARD GAMBLE, '11 

" Full short his journey was ; no dust 
Of earth unto his sandals clave; 
The weary weight that old men must. 
He bore not to the grave." 

Robert Howard Gamble in his last letter, written 
on September 5, 1918, from his station in the Vosges 
Mountains, said, "Something big is going to happen. 
I am well, happy, and full of confidence." Seven days 
later, on September 12, in the midst of the great St. 
Mihiel drive, he was killed in action in the Bois St. 
Claude. One of his comrades who saw him drop 
writes : — 

"He died with his boots on, clutching his automatic revolver 
as he fell dead. He took a machine-gun nest; and just beyond him 
were two of the crew of the machine gun that got him across the 
chest." 

Another officer who was near by said : — 

"Our boys were just walking away with the Hun. Bob had 
charged with his platoon, not following, but leading them, — just 
the kind of action everyone admires in an officer. I saw it myself 
and heard his men speak of it afterwards. ... It was in an 
attack on a German machine-gun nest that he fell, fighting for 
his God and country, a true soldier to the last." 

This young Second Lieutenant who died so heroi- 
cally was born January 17, 1893, and lived in Haver- 
ford, Pennsylvania. He entered Phillips Academy in 
1908 and left in 1910, with his course incomplete, in 
order to go to Yale. At Andover he was a member of 
the K. O. A. societj^; and at Yale he belonged to 
Alpha Delta Phi. After graduating from Yale in 

100 



HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

1915, he was employed in the offices of the Pennsyl- 
vania Railroad. His interest in military matters, how- 
ever, was very keen, and he attended two early Platts- 
burg camps. In 1917 he took the training course at 
Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, and in December was 
commissioned a Second Lieutenant. He was assigned 
to Company A of the 11th Infantry, which went over- 
seas in April, 1918, and became a part of the 3d Corps 
of the 1st American Army. It was this corps which, 
on September 15, after the capture of the St. Mihiel 
sector, received the special commendation of General 
Pershing, for its "courageous dash and vigor." 

The commanding officer of the 11th Infantry wrote 
concerning Lieutenant Gamble : — 

"He was a brave, courageous, and efficient officer, and an honor 
to his regiment. By his death the regiment suffered a loss of one 
of its most promising lieutenants."

GORDON BARTLETT, '16 

" So fine a spirit, daring, yet serene, — 
He may not, surely, lapse from what has been; 
Greater, not less, his wondering mind must be; 
Ampler the splendid vision he must see." 

John Hoghen. 

Gordon Bartlett was cradled in romance and died 
in the spirit of one making the "great adventure." He 
was born in the little city of Tottori, Japan, on March 
12, 1898, and, up to the age of fourteen, lived largely 
with orientals, among "all sorts and conditions of 
men." His father then sent him to Phillips Academy, 
where he remained four years. He sang on the Glee 
Club and the Choir, ran on the track team, and was 
President of the Society of Inquiry. Graduating in 
1916, he went on to Dartmouth, but the American 
Declaration of War in the following spring swept him 
out of his college life into the Red Cross Volunteer 
Ambulance Corps, as a member of which he sailed. 
May 5, 1917, for France. 

After several weeks of delay in Paris, his unit, the 
61st Ambulance Corps, went into action before Ver- 
dun. Here, in August, he received the army corps 
citation for the Croix de Guerre, with a star, for two 
specified acts of extreme bravery: one of rescuing a 
comrade in sudden and unaccustomed danger the first 
night of service ; the other for protracted attention to 
duty during six hours of peril, when he was declared to 
have "rescued all the dangerously wounded in his dis- 
trict all by himself." When the United States took 
over the ambulance service, he started for home, but, 

102 



HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

while in Paris, felt the call of duty so strongly that he 
enlisted in the 17th Field Artillery. 

His regiment saw plenty of action. He fought with 
the Marines at Belleau Wood in June,.aijd in the fa- 
mous battle of the Marne. As part of the 2d Division 
he saw the enemy driven back at Chateau-Thierry in 
July. In this fierce battle his own Battery D was cited 
by the French Army for its share in bringing victory 
to the Allied forces. Finally in September came the 
drive at the St. Mihiel salient. Corporal Bartlett, on 
September 15, went forward as a member of a volun- 
teer gun crew from Battery D to fire a captured Ger- 
man six-inch naval rifle in a position near the front 
line. Later he, w^ith another Corporal, went out re- 
connoitering for other guns, and did not return. A 
search party discovered him some hours afterward, 
and he was carried, severely wounded, to Evacuation 
Hospital Number 1, at Sebastopol, near Toul. There 
on September 17, 1918, he died. 

His last letter, written September 6, is full of 
cheerfulness and optimism. Life for him, even at the 
front, had no dullness or motonony. In every situation 
he sought the pleasant things, and he had no com- 
plaints to offer or criticisms to make. No hero was 
ever more indifferent to the world's applause.

WILLIAM HENRY TAYLOR, JR., '18 

" They say thou art at rest. 
I heed them not, though thou art long. 
Dreaming that thou, with heart still strong 
For fighting, foUowest some far quest." 

Violet Gillespie. 

William Henry Tayloe, Jr.^ although he was only 
nineteen years and nine months old when he left this 
world, had already distinguished himself by his cour- 
age and audacity in the air. Like Harold Eadie and 
"Alec" Bruce, he fell fighting. On September 18, 
1918, while stationed near the St. Mihiel salient, he 
was flying on patrol duty, with no enemy apparently 
in sight. Suddenly through a hole in a cloud he saw an 
air battle going on below, and dived. Just as he 
emerged, he was attacked by three Fokkers. There 
was a short combat, but he was hopelessly outnum- 
bered, and fell with his plane to the ground just north 
of Etang de Lachaussee, a small lake near St. Mihiel. 

He was born December 6, 1898, in New York City. 
After some years at Phillips Academy, he joined the 
Andover Ambulance Unit, and sailed on April 27, 
1917, for France. He was appointed an Adjutant in 
the French Camion Service, but secured his discharge 
in order to enter the Aviation Corps as a cadet. After 
barely three months of training, he was commissioned 
on November 29 as First Lieutenant, having ad- 
vanced with a rapidity almost unprecedented. In Feb- 
ruary, 1918, he left for the front with the first chasse 
sent by the American Army. 

Taylor was especially cited for his acrobatic work; 

104 



HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

and, although the youngest member of the 95th Aero 
Squadron, he was made one of the three Fhght Com- 
manders, responsible for five pilots, five machines, and 
twenty mechanics. On May 21 he attacked and de- 
stroyed a German photograph plane, operating over 
our lines, and on May 28, with another pilot, he 
brought down an enemy biplane out of a formation of 
five. In June he was injured in an accident, but re- 
joined his squadron in September and took an active 
part in the St. Mihiel drive, doing exceptional work 
in bombing retreating German truck trains. At the 
time of his last fight he had to his credit sixtj'^-five 
hours of flying over the Hun lines. He had been 
recommended for the American Distinguished Service 
Cross, and was granted the Croix de Guerre by the 
6th French Army. 

War often brings out in mere boys the finest quali- 
ties of riper manhood. So it was with "Bill" Taylor. 
Still a youth in years, he became a trusted leader and 
a foreman worthy of any warrior's steel. The story of 
his deeds has an Homeric quality; and his spirit was 
no less dauntless than that of the heroes who fought 
in single combat "far on the ringing plains of windy 
Troy."

ROBERT TUSSEY ISETT, '08 

" They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old : 
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 
At the going down of the sun and in the morning 
We will remember them." 

Laurence Binyon. 

Robert Tussey Isett was born November 17, 1887, 
in Spruce Creek, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. 
At Phillips Academy, where he spent three years, he 
was one of the prominent men in his class. He was 
manager of basketball, served on the Student Coun- 
cil, played on his winning class football team, and was 
a member of the Phi Lambda Delta society. After 
graduating from Cornell University in 1912, he be- 
came a member of the firm of E. W. Clark and Com- 
pany, bankers of Philadelphia. He enlisted Septem- 
ber 26, 1917, and was sent to the Ground Officers' 
Training School at Kelly Field, San Antonio, Texas; 
there, on December 15, he was commissioned First 
Lieutenant. In May, 1918, he was made Adjutant at 
Barron Field, Everman, Texas, and, on August 23, 
was promoted to his Captaincy. On September 21, 
while he was in the "accuracy" stage of his instruction, 
his plane suddenly took a straight nose dive to the 
ground and he was instantly killed.

ROBERT BRADSTREET WHITTIER, '17 

" One more has joined the men who lie and listen 
To us, who march upon their burial-ground." 

Herbert As 



Robert Bradstreet Whittier was born April 27, 
1895, in Everett, Massachusetts. At Phillips Acad- 
emy, where he spent three years, he made a most cred- 
itable record. At the time when he entered the service, 
in 1917, he was in the employ of the National Security 
Bank in Boston. He was sent to Camp Devens, where 
his promotion was rapid. He was finally commissioned 
a Second Lieutenant and assigned to Company K, 
74th Infantry. On September 24, 1918, he died, after 
an illness of only two days, from pneumonia. 

Chaplain Smith of his regiment wrote to his pa- 
rents : — 

"You have given to the country and to the cause of righteous- 
ness a son with manly qualities of mind, heart, and soul. As an 
officer of the 74th Infantry he won our confidence, respect, and 
love. The young men who served under him in Company K will 
ever cherish his memory."

HENRY CAMPBELL PRESTON, '17 

" A voice forever stilled, a memory. 

Since you went eastward with the fighting ships, 
A hero of the great new Odyssey, 

And God has laid his finger on your lips." 

Moray Dalton. 

Henry Campbell Preston and his pilot were killed 
together in a dramatic fight against five German Fok- 
kers on September 26, 1918, over Charleville, France. 
They fell about half a mile out of the village and 
within the German lines. German officers arranged a 
reverent burial service, and the funeral was conducted 
by a German chaplain. Lieutenant Preston lies in the 
cemetery at Charleville. 

He was born on July 20, 1898, in Chicago, Illinois. 
At Phillips Academy he was a student for nearly a 
year, leaving in the spring of 1916. While he was in 
LaFayette College, he enlisted in the aviation service 
and was sent to the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- 
nology for preliminary instruction. He was ordered 
abroad in August, 1918, going first to England for 
final training in bombing, and then to France, where 
he was stationed at Le Mans and Tours. He was 
eventually commissioned a First Lieutenant and as- 
signed to the 20th Aero Squadron, 1st Bombardment 
Group, belonging to the 1st Army of the American 
Expeditionary Forces. This squadron took part in all 
the operations of our army on the Verdun front, from 
the beginning of September until the armistice. For 
his achievements Lieutenant Preston was awarded the 
C7'oioc de GueiTe, with palm. 

Lieutenant Preston was a brave and gallant officer, 
whose memory will long be cherished by those who 
knew him on the Hill.

AMMI WRIGHT LANCASHIRE, '08 

" Thine was the seed-time ; God alone 
Beholds the end of what is sown; 
Beyond our vision, weak and dim, 
The harvest-time is hid with him." 

Ammi Wright Lancashire, only son of Dr. and 
Mrs. J. H. Lancashire of New York City, was born 
June 28, 1887, in Saginaw, Michigan. He spent one 
year at Lawrenceville and three years at Philhps 
Academy, where he was a member of the class of 1908. 
At Andover he was a member of the A. U. V. society. 
He also took a prominent part in various school activi- 
ties, being manager of the Musical Clubs, a member 
of the Promenade Committee, and Vice-President of 
his class. Graduating from Sheffield Scientific School 
in 1911, he made a trip to Europe, and then took a 
position with the Detroit National Bank. He was 
ultimately associated with his father in the investment 
business. 

In the autumn of 1915 he accompanied Mr. E. 
Alexander Powell, the war correspondent, on a tour 
of investigation through England and France. On 
July 5, 1917, he was commissioned as Ensign, and 
assigned for duty in the Cable Censor Department, 
New York City. Desk work, however, was not what 
he desired; in the spring of 1918 he applied for sea 
duty, and was transferred to the U. S. S. "Kansas." 
While this vessel was in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, 
he contracted influenza, which developed into pneu- 
monia. He died September 27, 1918, in the Phila- 
delphia Naval Hospital. 

109 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Lancashire, who was instinctively hospitable and 
generous, made friends wherever he went. His cheer- 
fulness and good humor were contagious. To Phillips 
Academy he was ever loyal, and his bequest of $20,000 
to his old school was merely a tangible expression of 
the devotion to it which he had shown in countless 
ways since leaving the Hill.

GEORGE EATON DRESSER, '17 

" Our game was his but yesteryear ; 

We wished him back; we could not know 
The self-same hour we missed him here 
He led the line that broke the foe." 

Sir Henry Newbolt. 

George Eaton Dresser was a young man of all- 
round ability. Powerful and active physically, he 
played a brilliant game on the football eleven and the 
lacrosse team, besides taking part in practically every 
form of outdoor sport ; but he also stood at the top of 
his class in his studies, and he found time to sing on 
the Glee Club and to act on the governing board of 
the Society of Inquiry. He was a member of the Phi 
Beta Chi fraternity. These honors, all easily won, did 
not spoil Dresser in the least ; he was always frank and 
modest, and acted as if he were surprised that his 
mates should think so well of him. 

Dresser was born July 24, 1898, in Chicopee, 
Massachusetts. He entered Phillips Academy in 1915, 
graduating two years later. Soon after leaving An- 
dover, he joined the American Ambulance Service, 
but, with Paul Doolin, changed to the camion service 
when given an opportunity. Even this, however, he 
did not like. In a letter of September 25, 1917, he 
wrote : — 

"The entire absence of all danger makes us restless, and we 
know that the camion service is the place for men with wives and 
families, men to whom life is more precious than to us. . , . 
Although under the draft age, I have never for a second regretted 
that I am on the spot two years earlier than Uncle Sam would 
call me; others feel the same." 

Ill 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Dresser wanted aviation, but, when an opportunity- 
came to enter the Tank Corps, he wiUingly accepted 
it. On July 27, 1918, he said in a letter: — 

"We are using the little whippet tanks with a crew of a driver 
and a gunner, the sort that have been fighting so well in the pres- 
ent Allied offensive. It is really good fun to drive down trenches 
and up the rear side, over stone walls, through woods and shell 
holes, for a poor driver will give his man in the turret some mighty 
hard bumps if he doesn't know how to ease up the machine when 
it reaches the balancing point on the lip of a trench or some other 
approach to an obstacle." 

Two months later, on September 27, he was killed in 
action. Sergeant Nichols of the unit describes Dresser's 
death : — 

"The night of the 25th of September we moved up to the 
jump-off — Vauquois Woods. We were so tired that we lay down 
and dozed and dreamed half awake, as the barrage cracked over- 
head and threw light into our faces. That morning progress was 
hard, but it was made. George Dresser, driving for Sergeant 
Jackson, was killed, while Jackson was seriously wounded and 
is now blind."

RO SWELL HAYES FULLER, '13 

" Your spirit passed, unconquered, unafraid. 
To join the gallant dead." 

Owen Seaman, 

RoswELL Hayes Fuller was last seen on the after- 
noon of September 29, 1918, near Verdun, chasing an 
enemy plane far over the German lines. A month later 
news came through the American Red Cross that he 
had lost his life in combat with the machine which he 
had pursued. 

Lieutenant Fuller was an experienced and daring 
aviator. He left Yale on April 17, 1917, to enlist in 
the Naval Aviation Forces, but later secured his dis- 
charge from the navy and, on June 15, entered the 
Army Aviation Corps. He received his ground school 
training at Champaign, Illinois, and his flying instruc- 
tion at the Wilbur Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio; and 
in November, 1917, he was commissioned a First Lieu- 
tenant. For a time he was attached to the 20th Aero 
Squadron, serving first as Assistant Supply Officer 
and later as Adjutant of the 4th Provisional Wing at 
Garden City, New York. After several months in 
England and Scotland, he was ordered to Issoudun, 
France, where he was made instructor of acrobatic 
flying. At the end of six months in this duty, he was 
at last sent to the front and had many narrow escapes. 
His most notable exploit occurred when he was sent 
on a special mission seventy-five miles into German 
territory, and, while returning, had a running fight 
alone against seven enemy planes, his own motor being 
so overheated that his plane would not rise. 

113 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Lieutenant Fuller was born December 16, 1894, in 
Chicago, Illinois. He attended several schools, but 
prepared for college at PhiUips Academy, where he 
played on his winning class football team. At Yale he 
was a member of the Apollo and University Banjo 
and Mandolin Clubs, and belonged to Alpha Delta 
Phi. His roommate in college was Dumaresq Spencer, 
the details of whose death on January 22, 1918, have 
already been related in this volume.

CHARLES PHILIP GOULD, '16 

"What matters Death, if Freedom be not dead? 
No flags are fair if Freedom's flag be furled. 
Who fights for Freedom goes with joyful tread 
To meet the fires of Hell against him hurled, 
And has for captain Him whose thorn-wreathed head 
Smiles from the Cross upon a conquered world." 

Joyce Kilmer. 

Charles Philip Gould was instantly killed on the 
morning of September 29, 1918, in one of the blood- 
iest battles of the war. The 107th Infantry (formerly 
the famous 7th Regiment of the New York National 
Guard), of which he was a Corporal in Company I, 
had been ordered to launch an attack near Cambrai 
on one of the most strongly defended sectors of the 
Hindenburg line. Going over the top at dawn, they 
charged with bayonets in the teeth of machine gun fire 
and drove the Germans back with an audacity which 
startled even the veteran Australians who were co- 
operating with them. It was supreme heroism, but the 
price paid was frightful. In Corporal Gould's com- 
pany only two squads survived the battle; and the 
casualties near where he fell were greater than any- 
where else in the 27th Division. 

Gould was born October 2, 1897, in Eureka, Kan- 
sas, but later came with his parents to Freeport, New 
York. He entered Phillips Academy in 1913, grad- 
uating three years later. In Andover he was one of 
the leaders of his class. He won his "A" in track ath- 
letics, and took two gold and two silver medals during 
his Senior year for victories in the pole vault. At his 

115 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Commencement he was awarded the Otis prize, given 
to the student who makes the greatest all-round im- 
provement during his course. 

Upon leaving school Gould entered the Corn Ex- 
change Bank in New York City. One night in April, 
1917, after war had been declared, he came to his 
father and said, "Dad, I believe I'll enlist." On the 
following day he joined the 7th Regiment and was 
sent to Camp Wadsworth for training. When his reg- 
iment sailed from Newport News for overseas, he was 
in the hospital; but he recovered and followed them 
on a freighter as a casual. He rejoined them in Sep- 
tember, 1918, just in time to take part in the exploit 
which will forever be associated with their names. 

Charles Gould entered the army in no spirit of 
bravado. He knew exactly what the cost might be. 
His favorite Bible verse was, "He endured hardness 
as a good soldier of Jesus Christ"; and he never ut- 
tered a complaint of army discipline or hardship. His 
father writes, "His sacrifice was clearly a self-giving 
from high motive and with tenacious purpose." As a 
boy he had dignity, independence, self-control; and 
these qualities, more fully developed in the stern 
necessities of war, distinguished him in the manly 
struggles into which he was thrust prematurely. One 
of his friends put it beautifully when he said, "His Jfine 
young life was not ended, but consummated, in a 
supreme sacrifice for a worthy cause."

GEORGE WILLIAM MUELLER, '08 

" Duty is duty, whereso'er 
'Tis done, and no man can do more 
Than in the testing-time, prepare 
To prove him conqueror. 
Or here or there — no matter where, — 
Who dies for Right hath done his share, 
And shall the victor's laurel wear." 

John Oxenham. 

George William Mueller was born April 9, 1888, 
in Meriden, Connecticut. He spent three years at 
Phillips Academy, and his mother writes that they 
were the happiest of his life. He continued his educa- 
tion in the Yale Law School, where he was on the 
editorial board of the Yale Law Journal and a mem- 
ber of the Phi Delta Phi society. After graduation in 
1911, he took a position with the Travelers Insurance 
Company of Hartford, Connecticut, but eventually 
was associated in business with his uncle in Atlantic 
City, New Jersey. In the summer of 1918 he enlisted 
in the United States Naval Reserve Force. Unfor- 
tunately he contracted influenza, which was followed 
by pneumonia, and he died October 4, 1918, at Cape 
May, New Jersey. He was to have been married in 
November of that year.

GEORGE MINOT CAVIS, '14 

" Only a sweet and virtuous soul, 
Like season'd timber, never gives; 
But though the whole world turn to coal, 
Then chiefly lives." 

George Herbert. 

George Minot Cavis was born December 7, 1895, in 
Bristol, New Hampshire. After an early education in 
the Bristol schools, he was sent to Phillips Academy 
in 1911, graduating three years later. He completed 
three years at Dartmouth College, but then enrolled 
in the Harvard Reserve Officers' Training School, 
completing the course with credit. On December 1, 
1917, he enlisted in the Coast Artillery Corps and was 
ordered to Fort Monroe for training. In April of the 
following year he received his gold shoulder bar and 
was assigned to Fort Andrews in Boston Harbor, as 
an instructor in artillery fire. In September he was 
promoted to be First Lieutenant and sent to Camp 
Devens for a short period of special study before 
going overseas with the 33d Regiment. There he con- 
tracted a severe cold in a rainstorm and went home on 
sick leave. In Bristol pneumonia developed, and he 
died, October 4, 1918. 

In speaking of his death a friend wrote : — 

"Lieutenant Cavis vras a young man of great personal charmj 
fine character, noble ambition, and a splendid type of Christian 
manhood."

WILLIAM JOSEPH HEVER, '13 

" Somewhere in France, dust unto dust. 
You wait beyond the Inn of Life, 
Where through lone nights the guarding crust 
Shuts out the clamor of the strife." 

Orantland Rice. 

William Joseph Hevee died an heroic death. In the 
great battle of the Argonne Forest he was command- 
ing, as First Lieutenant, the F Company of the 305th 
Infantry. On October 3, 1918, when his regiment was 
meeting with vigorous resistance, he was ordered with 
his company to take a strong enemy position, and 
went forward at the head of his men. Heavy machine 
gun fire opened on them as they advanced, but they 
continued on. A messenger came up, calhng for Lieu- 
tenant Hever, and, as he turned, a bullet struck him 
in the shoulder. He fell, but a group of volunteers 
quickly carried him to the rear. Two days later, in 
spite of all that could be done to aid him, he died. 

Lieutenant Hever was born January 1, 1891, in 
New York City. He came to Phillips Academy in 
1911, but withdrew in 1913 in order to enter Harvard, 
from which college he graduated in 1917. In May of 
that year he entered the Plattsburg Training Camp, 
receiving his commission as Second Lieutenant on 
August 15, 1917. On December 28 of that year he was 
given his First Lieutenancy, and in April, 1918, he 
sailed for France with the 305th Infantry. 

One of his comrades in the regiment described 
Lieutenant Hever as "a volunteer soldier, a noble 
officer, and a brave, unselfish man." There can be no 
greater praise from the lips of a friend.

DONALD CORPREW DINES, '17 

" All that life contains of torture, toil, and treason. 
Shame, dishonor, death, to him were but a name. 
Here, a boy, he dwelt through all the singing season, 
And ere the day of sorrow departed as he came." 

Stevenson. 

Donald Corprew Dines was one of four Andoyer 
men who, in February, 1918, while Freshmen at Yale, 
enlisted in the Marines. The other three, "Steve" 
Hord, "Bob" Warren, and "Harve" Bradley, all saw 
plenty of action; but "Teck" Dines was destined to 
give his life. All four were sent to Paris Island for 
training, and went overseas in the late spring. In 
France they took part in many of the fiercest battles 
of the war; and in one of these, on October 5, Dines 
was instantly killed. 

Dines was born December 2, 1898, in Denver, Colo- 
rado, and was the youngest Andover man to meet 
death in action. He entered Phillips Academy in 1914, 
and remained three years. He was one of the acknowl- 
edged leaders of the school: manager of the track 
team. Secretary and Vice-President of his class, a 
member of the Advisory Board, the Student Council, 
the Cheering Staff, and the baseball nine. He belonged 
to the A. U. V. society. "Teck" was a sturdy, manly 
chap, who had no pettiness or affectation. He was 
absolutely without conceit or self-consciousness, and 
won respect through his masculine characteristics. It 
was quite natural that he should enlist with the "Devil 
Dogs," and equally to be expected that he would be 
at the front in every charge.

HERMAN CHAMBERS WILSON, '17 

" His life was gentle, and the elements 
So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up 
And say to all the world, 'This was a man !' " 

Shakspere. 

Herman Chambers Wilson was born October 15, 
1890, in Asheville, North Carolina, and was much 
older than the other members of his class at Phillips 
Academy ; but he never lost a boy's zest in living, and 
he knew how to win the confidence of younger men. 
In Andover his skill in athletics made him a leader, 
but he would, under any circumstances, have been one 
whose counsel was sought, — and heeded. He played 
on the football eleven and the baseball nine, being 
especially capable as a pitcher ; but he also held other 
offices in which popularity was more an asset than 
muscular power. 

In the spring of 1918, three days after America 
declared war, Wilson went to Boston and enlisted in 
the Marine Corps. He was sent at once to Paris 
Island, where his Plattsburg experience made him a 
valuable drillmaster ; and, despite his longing to get 
overseas, he was held at the task of beating the manual 
into the heads of raw recruits. At last, when the third 
company trained under him had gone abroad, he made 
so vigorous a protest that his desire was granted, and 
he went to France on May -24, 1918, with the 5th 
Regiment of Marines. He was promoted to be a Gun- 
nery Sergeant and took an active part in several of 
the hot engagements of the summer of 1918. On Octo- 
ber 6, 1918, he died of wounds received in action.

ROBERT HENRY COLEMAN, '12 

" Mother, with unbowed head, 
Hear thou across the sea 
The farewell of the dead, — 

The dead who died for thee. 
Greet them again with tender words and grave. 
For, saving thee, themselves they could not save." 

Sir Henry Newbolt. 

Robert Henry Coleman had a charming manner 
which made everyone who knew him his friend. By 
nature somewhat shy and retiring, he never forced his 
way to leadership ; but his classmates knew his ability 
and respected it. No man of his time at Phillips Acad- 
emy was more universally liked. 

He was born February 15, 1894, in Louisville, 
Kentucky. After a short period at Taft School, he 
came to Andover, where he won prizes as a speaker 
and was a member of the P. A. E. society. At Yale, 
where he completed the course in four years, he was 
on the staff of the News and earned a first colloquy 
Junior and a second dispute Senior appointment. 
His fraternity was Delta Kappa Epsilon. After 
taking his degree he went to Harvard Law School, 
but withdrew in 1917 in order to enlist in the Aviation 
Corps. He completed training at Kelly Field, Texas, 
and at Wilbur Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, receiv- 
ing a commission as Second Lieutenant. On Septem- 
ber 15, 1918, he sailed from New York for overseas, 
but was taken ill on the boat with influenza. After his 
arrival, his sickness developed into pneumonia, and 
he died, October 8, at the Marine Hospital, Brest, 
France.

LUCIAN PLATT, '09 

" He . . . who, if he be called upon to face 
Some awful moment to which Heaven has joined 
Great issues, good or bad for human kind. 
Is happy as a Lover; and attired 
With sudden brightness, like a Man inspired." 

Words'worth. 

LuciAN Platt was born January 28, 1892, in Balti- 
more, Maryland. At Phillips Academy he was espe- 
cially distinguished for high scholarship, winning 
membership in the Alpha Delta Tau society and tak- 
ing final honors in solid geometry and trigonometry. 
Later at Yale he was chairman of the Yale Scientific 
Monthly, class historian, and a member of the Aure- 
lian Honor society, the Elizabethan Club, Sachem 
Hall, and Sigma Xi. In 1914, after two years of grad- 
uate work at Yale, he received the degree of Engineer 
of Mines. After eight months spent with the New 
Jersey Zinc Company, he went to Alaska in the em- 
ploy of the Kennecott Copper Corporation. He re- 
turned in the autumn of 1918 and was at once commis- 
sioned a Second Lieutenant in the Engineers. While 
he was in training at Camp Humphreys, Virginia, he 
contracted pneumonia and died, October 9, 1918.

HERBERT EDWARD RANKIN, '05 

" From mine and desk and mart. 
Springing to face a task undreamed before, 
Our men, inspired to play their prentice part. 
Like soldiers lessoned in the school of war. 

True to their breed and name 
Went flawless through the fierce baptismal flame." 

Owen Seaman. 

Herbert Edward Rankin was born April 15, 1887, 
in Albanj^ New York, and spent some early years at 
Albany Academy. At Phillips Academy, from which 
he graduated in 1905, he was on the honor roll in 
scholarship ; and, as a member of the class of 1909 at 
Princeton University, he took high rank. For two 
years he remained in Princeton as Instructor in Chem- 
istry; he then went abroad to study for his doctor's 
degree. At the outbreak of the Great War he re- 
turned, attended two Plattsburg camps and the 
Officers' Training School at Madison Barracks, and 
was selected as one of fifty to attend the Coast Artil- 
lery Camp at Fort Monroe, Virginia, where he was 
commissioned on August 12, 1917, as a Captain in the 
Coast Artillery Corps. After some further instruction 
at Fort Monroe and other stations, he was sent over- 
seas in October, 1918, as the officer in charge of Bat- 
tery C, 5th Anti-aircraft Battalion. On the voyage he 
contracted pneumonia and died, October 10, 1918, on 
board the British transport "Euripides." He was 
buried at sea on October 11. 

The First Sergeant of his company sent to his 
family the following tribute : — 

124 



HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

"I am at a loss to express in mere words the sorrow of the 
members of the battery for the loss of their commander, whose 
slightest wish was their law. The men in future years will always 
regard the friendship of their dear dead comrade as one of the 
most beautiful memories of the past."

ELMER HARRISON SYKES, '11 

" We gave, and gave our all, 
In gladness, though in pain; 
Let not a whisper fall 

That we have died in vain." 

Clinton S collar d. 

Elmer Harrison Sykes was born on February 1, 
1889, in Rockville, Connecticut. After an early edu- 
cation in the Rockville schools, he came to Phillips 
Academy in the autumn of 1908, remaining one year 
as a member of the Lower Middle Class. Upon leaving 
Andover, he entered business with the Journal Pub- 
lishing Company of his native town. On May 23, 
1918, he enlisted as a private in the Quartermaster 
Corps, and was soon assigned to Camp Zachary Tay- 
lor. There he was taken ill and died, October 11, 1918, 
of influenza. His death adds one more to the lamen- 
tably long list of Andover men who perished "ere their 
prime," with their boyish hopes unfulfilled.

PHILLIPS GARRISON MORRISON, '12 

" Not in the wild rush of the fight 
God saw it meet for you to die. 
Yet he who keeps his armor bright 
His Lord doth magnify. 
You answered equally the call, 
And he who gives himself gives all. 

John Oxenham. 

Phillips Garrison Morrison made a record in 
scholarship at PhilHps Academy which will not soon 
be forgotten. He had an alert rapier-like mind, backed 
by a capacity for continuous study rarely found in 
young men. Personally he was rather shy and unas- 
suming, and, as he did not take part in athletics, he 
was not a prominent figure in school life. But his 
classmates respected and admired him, and his teach- 
ers found in him those qualities of mind and will which 
are certain to mean success in the years which follow 
college. 

Born March 22, 1894, in Merrimac, Massachusetts, 
Morrison lived with his parents in Andover and spent 
four years at Phillips Academy. In the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology he continued his brilliant 
scholastic record, devoting himself largely to electrical 
engineering. He graduated in 1916. 

In June, 1917, he was commissioned a First Lieu- 
tenant in the Ordnance Corps and assigned for duty 
at Frankford Arsenal, Philadelphia. His knowledge 
and training made him a valuable officer, and he was 
promoted to a Captaincy in January, 1918. Later he 
was transferred to the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in 

127 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

Maryland. There, on October 12, 1918, he died of 
pneumonia. 

It is very difficult for one who knew Phillips Morri- 
son to refrain from eulogy which seems extravagant. 
He was so clean in his life, so devoted to the attain- 
ment of high ideals, so thoroughly high-minded and 
faithful, that the ordinary phrases of regret sound 
like mere lip service. He represented in his character 
and in his aims the best traditions of a school which 
stands for upright, unselfish manhood.

" And you, to whom it was not given 
To die upon the foughten field, — 
You, you full equally have striven. 
For you your lives did yield 
As nobly as the men who fell 
There in the blazing mouth of hell." 

John Oxenham. 

Frank Dana Kendall was born August 3, 1887, at 
Winchester, Massachusetts, which was his home until 
his death. He attended the Winchester schools and 
the Mitchell Military Academy before coming to An- 
dover in 1904. After leaving Phillips Academy in 
1905, he became interested in the lumber business in 
Winchester and was a leading citizen of the town. He 
enlisted in December, 1917, took the course in the 
Army Aviation Ground School at the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology, and was sent on September 
5, 1918, to the flying field at Mineola, Long Island, 
where he was attached to the 357th Aero Squadron. 
A few weeks later he was ordered on detached service 
to Lufberry Field, where he contracted pneumonia. 
He died in a Red Cross hospital at Garden City on 
October 14, after an illness of ten days. 

Mr. Kendall's life had been much saddened by the 
long illness and death of his wife and child only two 
years before. It was his ambition to go overseas and 
it was difficult for him to bear the long wait on this 
side of the water; but it was not to be his fortune to 
give his life in action. Those who knew him, however, 
realize that manhood such as his is not content with 
sacrificing little. He died in helping men to be free.

KENNETH RAND, '10 

Vale, Kenneth Band 

" As school-boys, we would sit alone o' nights 
Reading in Balzac, Omar, Stevenson, 
Or throw the books aside, and, one by one, 

Climb over shining schemes to dizzy heights. 

In college, sometimes, we would slip away 
From noisy classroom to some quiet inn 
Where we could pledge in tankards cool and thin 

The years we saw as gold scenes in a play. . . . 

Oh, Kenneth, how could dreams like ours be false? 
Our Avalons, our bright Hesperides, 
Our Inds, our islands washed by tropic seas 

All faded . . . faded . . . echoes of a walse. . . . 

You go (O world he reaches, hold him dear!) ; 

I stay, to tend the embers falling here." 

Harold Crawford Stearns, '10. 

Kenneth Rand, only twenty-seven years old at the 
time of his death, had already shown himself a true 
poet. His three published volumes, A Dirge of 
the Sea Children, The Rainbow Chaser, and The 
Dreamer, show something more than cleverness or 
smart versatility. He had made a serious study of 
metrics and knew thoroughly the technique of his art ; 
but he had also a genuine lyrical gift. 

Rand was born May 8, 1891, in Minneapolis, 
Minnesota. Much of his early life was spent in travel, 
especially in Europe. During his three years at Phil- 
lips Academy, he played on the Mandolin Club and 
wrote for the Mirror, but he was not well known and 
he devoted more time to thinking than is thought to 
be quite normal by the average boy. At Yale he be- 
came chairman of the Lit Board and literary editor of 
the Courant, and he was the class poet. 

130 



HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

After graduating from Yale in 1914, Rand gave 
his attention chiefly to writing. When war broke out, 
however, his one desire was to get into active service. 
He volunteered in every branch, both army and navy, 
only to be rejected because of defective eyesight. 
Finally he practically forced his way into the Quar- 
termaster Corps, and was recommended for the 
Officers' Training School at Camp Johnston. Before 
he could leave Washington, however, he was sent to 
the Walter Reed Hospital with influenza; there, on 
October 15, 1918, he died. 

The following poem, found in his uniform, is his 
finest, strongest work. It is the voice of an American 
hero : — 

"Limited Service Only" 

" I am not one o£ those the gods' decision 
Has chosen for that highest gift of all — 
The sacrifice, the splendor, and the vision — 
To fight, and nobly fall: 

" And yet I know — what though it be but dreaming ! 
Should the day hang on some last desperate hope, 
I — I — could lead one reckless column streaming 
Down some shell-tortured slope. 

" To face the shadow-hell of Death's own Valley 
With eyes unclouded and unlowered head — 
Know, for an instant, one ecstatic rally 
And then be cleanly dead."

JOHN CASE PHELPS, '02 

" Pity the slain? O rather pity those 
In whom the unnourished soul from day to day 
Weaker and ever weaker grows, 
Dying at last, imprisoned in its clay." 

Dudley Poore, 'IS. 

John Case Phelps, although considerably over the 
original draft age, was one of the first to volunteer his 
services to his country. In 1916 he attended the Platts- 
burg Training Camp, and later went to the Officers' 
Training School at Madison Barracks, where, in Sep- 
tember, 1917, he was commissioned a Captain. He was 
assigned for duty at Camp Dix, and finally went over- 
seas in command of Company A, 309th Infantry. On 
October 18 he was killed in action near Grand Pre. 

Captain Phelps was born June 29, 1883, in Bing- 
hamton, New York. At Phillips Academy he grad- 
uated in 1902, being Treasurer of his class. At Yale, 
from which he graduated in 1906, he played on the 
Apollo Banjo Club and was a member of the Univer- 
sity Club and Delta Kappa Epsilon. After one year 
at Harvard Law School and a similar period at New 
York School, he was admitted to the bar, and prac- 
ticed in the office of Hinman, Howard, and Kattell 
in his native city. In 1915 he opened an office of his 
own in Binghamton, and conducted there an inde- 
pendent practice until his enlistment in the army.

HAROLD LUDINGTON HEMINGWAY, '10 

" Then hail to all who gave us 
Their might of arm and soul. 
Hot and athirst to save us, 
To heal, and keep us whole." 

William Watson. 

Harold Ludington Hemingway died October 21, 
1918, in France, of wounds received in action near 
Verdun on the preceding day. He had attended the 
Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburg in 1917, and 
had, on August 15, won his commission as Second 
Lieutenant. His first permanent assignment was with 
Company K, 104th Infantry, 26th Division, stationed 
at Camp Bartlett, Westfield, Massachusetts. On Oc- 
tober 3 he sailed with his regiment for France, and, 
after February 5, 1918, was almost continuously in 
action, taking part in some of the most glorious ex- 
ploits of our army at Chateau-Thierry and St. Mihiel. 
On July 26 he was promoted to be First Lieutenant 
and made commanding officer of Company F. He was 
in command of this company when he died. His pro- 
motion to a Captaincy arrived on November 3, after 
his death. He was also recommended for the Distin- 
guished Service Cross. 

Born May 25, 1893, in New Haven, Connecticut, 
Hemingway went first to Hopkins Grammar School 
and later to Phillips Academy, where he graduated in 
1910. During his college days at Yale he was a mem- 
ber of Delta Kappa Epsilon and Wolf's Head, and 
in his Senior year received an oration appointment. 

138 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

After graduating in 1914, he was connected for a time 
with the New Haven Savings Bank, but in 1915 he 
accepted a position with Estabrook and Company of 
Boston. When he entered service, he was at the head 
of their Connecticut office. 

At a memorial gathering held in the Center Church 
at New Haven, Dr. Newman Smyth spoke most elo- 
quently in tribute to the young officer. On Lieutenant 
Hemingway the burden of battle had fallen more 
heavily than on most men. Through the heat of many 
a long day he had fought, and he was taken before the 
vision of peace was more than a fleeting mirage. But 
it was the heroism of such Americans as he in those 
last bloody hours of conflict that made it certain that 
the world would be at last redeemed and made safe for 
even the smallest nation.

ROWLAND WESTCOTT WATERBURY, '12 

"The earth is sacred where they fell, — 
Forever on it lies the spell 
Of hero deeds in Freedom's cause, 
And men unborn shall come and pause 
To say a prayer, or bow the head. 
So leave these graves to hold their dead." 

Rowland Westcott Waterbury was born July 21, 
1891, in Saratoga Springs, New York. He entered 
Phillips Academy on February 16, 1911, remaining 
until June, as a member of the class of 1912. Enlisting 
on September 1, 1917, as a private in Company L, 
107th Infantry, he went overseas with the famous 27th 
Division. He saw action in many sharp engagements 
in France, and was promoted, in August, 1918, to be 
Corporal. On the morning of September 29 he went 
with his company in an attack on the Hindenburg line, 
and was struck in the leg by a bullet. His broken bone 
was set by an Australian doctor, but he was left in a 
trench throughout a long night of rain. Blood poison- 
ing set in, and all efforts to save him were in vain. He 
died on October 26, 1918, at General Hospital Num- 
ber 9, Rouen, France.

HOBART EVANS EARLY, '21 

" The war is like the Judgment Day — 
All sham, all pretext torn away; 
And swift the searching hours reveal 
Hearts good as gold, souls true as steel." 

HoBART Evans Eaely was one of Andover's young- 
est heroes. Born August 13, 1898, in Medford, Massa- 
chusetts, he came to PhiUips Academy in September, 
1917, and during that school year showed himself 
capable of leadership. In the autumn of 1918 he with- 
drew from Andover in order to join the Marines, and 
was sent to Paris Island, South Carolina. He had 
hardly begun his training when he was stricken by 
influenza, which turned into pneumonia; he died No- 
vember 1, 1918. 

"Hobe" Early's premature death came as a tragic 
blow to his fellows on the Hill. Going as he did di- 
rectly from their midst into the fighting force, he was 
to them a very live personality, and, when the news of 
his loss came, there were tears in many eyes. His 
school friend, George Gibson, wrote of Early's last 
hours : — 

"He talked of Andover a lot, and of the boys. Almost the last 
thing he said before going into a delirious state was that he was 
fighting as hard as he could and was doing his best and that he 
had tried to do his duty as best he could. ... I surely did prize 
his acquaintance. He was a good clean-cut God-fearing man, and 
I'm sure he went with a clean conscience." 



136 



WALTER EMMET DONOHUE, '13 

" They put aside the velvet for the steel, 
Left love, and hope, and ease at home; and sped 
To the wilderness of war and every dread. 
Their blood is mortar for the commonweal; 
Their deeds its decoration and its boast." 

Robert Hughes. 

Walter Emmet Donohue of New York City spent 
one year at Phillips Academy, in 1910-11, as a mem- 
ber of the class of 1913, and lived at Williams Hall. 
He afterwards attended Williston Seminary, and 
graduated at Hamilton College in the class of 1917. 
In the spring of that year he enrolled at the Officers' 
Training School at Madison Barracks in New York 
State, and was commissioned on August 17 as a Sec- 
ond Lieutenant. At Camp Dix, to which he was soon 
assigned, he was promoted, on December 1, 1917, to 
be First Lieutenant in the 310th Infantry, 78th Divi- 
sion. Going overseas in the spring of 1918, he was 
made a Captain on October 28, only to fall three days 
later, on November 1, fatally wounded in the battle of 
the Argonne Forest. He is buried in the American 
Cemetery at Cheppy-sur-Meuse, Meuse, France. 



137 



ERROL DWIGHT MARSH, '10 

"The better part of thee is with us still; 

Thy soul its hampering clay aside hath thrown, 
And only freer wrestles with the lU." 

Errol Dwight Marsh was at Phillips Academy for 
only a brief period, but the school is proud to have 
his name upon her rolls. Born in Ware, Massachu- 
setts, July 19, 1889, he came to Andover from schools 
in Westboro, but soon transferred to Worcester 
Academy. After three years at Dartmouth College, 
he withdrew in order to enter business with his father 
in Westboro. He received his commission as Second 
Lieutenant at Plattsburg, and was assigned to the 
302d Infantry, in the 76th Division, which went over- 
seas in July, 1918. He was later ordered for duty with 
the 319th Infantry, 80th Division, and sent direct to 
the front. There, on November 2, 1918, he was killed 
in action. 



138 



HARRY TAYLOR MOORE, '14 

" He gave his merry youth away 
For Country and for God." 

Harry Taylor Moore was born March 12, 1894, in 
New Rochelle, New York. He attended schools in 
Middletown, New York, and was for nearly two years 
a student in Phillips Academy. At the Plattsburg 
Officers' Training Camp in 1917 he was commissioned 
a Second Lieutenant, and assigned to duty at Camp 
Upton, where he held several administrative offices. 
He was eventually promoted to be First Lieutenant 
and made Assistant Adjutant in the camp. On No- 
vember 30, 1918, after an illness of ten days with in- 
fluenza and pneumonia, he died. 

His friend, Lieutenant Edmund L. Pearson, wrote 
most feelingly of the affection with which Lieutenant 
Moore was regarded at Camp Upton : — 

"It was not his good fortune to go to France, and those who 
knew his fine keen spirit will appreciate the disappointment which 
he felt. He was of the very stuff of those men whose names we 
are daily reading in the lists of soldiers cited for gallantry in 
action. . . . His associates and friends were surprised to learn 
of his youthfulness, — his poise and intellectual alertness were 
those of a man a decade older. He had that rare form of moral 
courage which enables a man to grasp and solve a new problem, 
to deal with a new situation. . . . Our eyes are blinded and our 
faith tried to the utmost by this loss." 



139 



JOHN HARLAND MacCREADIE, '14 

" You, beyond the reach of time and weather, 
Of youth in death forever keep the knowledge. 
We hoard our youth* we hoard our youth, and fear it. 
But you, who freely gave what we have hoarded. 
Are with the final goal of youth rewarded. 
The road to travel and the traveler's spirit." 

John Harland MacCreadie was born April 24, 
1893, in Lawrence, Massachusetts. During his two 
years at Phillips Academy he was President of the 
Philomathean society and led its debating team. In 
1915 he entered Princeton, where he took honors in 
his studies. At the outbreak of our war he enlisted in 
the Naval Reserves at Brooklyn- Naval Yard, and was 
assigned to the Chemical Laboratory, where he did 
important special work on fuel and food for the navy. 
In November, 1918, he contracted influenza and died 
December 7. In August he had passed successfully an 
examination for a commission, which was pending at 
the time of his death. 

MacCreadie was one of the most earnest and faith- 
ful of students, and could be relied upon to carry out 
a task to its conclusion. This same spirit he carried 
into his naval work, and his overwork so weakened 
him that he was unable to resist disease.

STEWART FLAGG, '93 

" Thou hast been 
As one, in suffering all, that suffers nothing; 
A man that fortune's buffets and rewards 
Hast ta'en with equal thanks." 

Shaksfere. 

Stewart Flagg was the oldest Andover man to give 
his hfe in the service of his country. When the Great 
War broke out, he was hving in France, and at once 
volunteered for hospital work, in which he was en- 
gaged for nearly nine months. He then joined the 
Harjes Ambulance Formation, as a member of which 
he served through the entire Verdun campaign of 
1916. In March of that year he volunteered for the 
duration of the war and was attached to the 66th 
Chasseurs Division of the French Army. During the 
next few months he worked under the most arduous 
conditions in the Vosges Mountains and in the Cham- 
pagne sector. Four times his ambulance was destroyed 
by shell fire, and he was three times cited, receiving 
both the CroioD de Guerre and the even more coveted 
Fourragere. He was the first man in the American 
Army to wear this Fourragere emblem on the 
American uniform. Mr. Flagg's first citation reads 
as follows: — 

"Ambulance driver, Stewart Flagg, — an American volunteer 
for the duration of the war; a man of duty, showing the greatest 
calmness and devotion under all circumstances, without fear, abso- 
lutely disdaining all dangers, — has particularly distinguished 
himself during the attacks of March and December, 1916, in a 
very exposed section, by taking away the wounded under an 
intense bombardment." 

141 



HONOR BIOGRAPHIES 

When the United States entered the war, the 
Harjes Formation was disbanded and Flagg enlisted 
as a private in the American Army; but, because of 
his previous service with the French troops, he was 
assigned to continue his duties with the famous Alpine 
regiment. In the great offensive of July, 1917, he was 
badly injured, and had to undergo an operation, from 
which he had apparently recovered. On Friday, De- 
cember 10, 1918, however, he died very suddenly. 

Mr. Flagg was also a veteran of the Spanish- 
American War, having served as a gun pointer on the 
after port gun of the U. S. S. "Yankee" in the battle 
of Santiago and other engagements. He had an ad- 
venturous spirit which led him always into the thick 
of action in any struggle for the right.

TRUMAN DUNHAM DYER, '14 

" One thing we know, that love so greatly spent 
Dies not when lovers die; from hand to hand 
We pass the torch and perish — well content. 
If in dark years to come our countrymen 
Feel the divine flame leap in them again. 
And so remember us and understand." 

Truman Dunham Dyer was born January 26, 1896, 
in Warren, Ohio. While he was in Philhps Academy, 
he played on the football squad, and he was a member 
of the A. U. V. society. He continued his education at 
Sheffield Scientific School, where he was elected to 
Franklin Hall. In the spring of 1917 he was a Cor- 
poral in the Yale Reserve Officers' Training Corps. 
Entering the service in August, 1918, at Columbus 
Barracks, Columbus, Ohio, he was shortly transferred 
to Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Alabama, where 
he was promoted to be a Corporal. He passed exami- 
nations for the Central Officers' Training School at 
Atlanta, Georgia, but the armistice was signed just 
two days before his order to report there arrived. A 
few weeks later Corporal Dyer contracted influenza, 
which developed into pneumonia; he died, December 
11, 1918, in the Base Hospital at Camp Sheridan. His 
infant son, Truman Dunham Dyer, Jr., was born only 
ten days before, and his father, who was home on his 
first and only furlough, was able to hold him in his 
arms and give him his blessing.

HENRY MARTIN YOUNG, '17 

" Fear not that, ye have died for naught. 
The torch ye threw to us we caught. 
Ten million hands will hold it high 
And Freedom's light will never die." 

Henry Martin Young was born March 21, 1894, in 
New York City. He spent one year at Phillips Acad- 
emy in the class of 1917, but left with his course in- 
complete in order to enter Amherst. In his Freshman 
year at that college he was captain of his class cross- 
country team; but he withdrew in May, 1917, in order 
to enter the Plattsburg Training Camp. On June 14 
he was recommended for transfer to the Air Service 
and went to the Ground School at Cornell. After 
graduating there, he was assigned successively to 
Gerster Field, Camp Pike, and Taliaferro Field. On 
May 11, 1918, he was commissioned as a Second Lieu- 
tenant, and served as Gunnery Pilot and as Instructor 
in Aerial Gunnery and Combat. He died on Decem- 
ber 14, 1918, of pneumonia, following influenza. 

His commanding officer, Major T. C. McCaulay, 
wrote to Lieutenant Young's guardian as follows: — 

"It becomes nfty duty and is a sacred privilege to bear witness 
to the high esteem in which Lieutenant Young was held by his 
group of friends and associates, and indeed by all who knew him 
at this field. He possessed and displayed those qualities of dis- 
ciplined courage that distinguish the heroic soldier, and he held 
aloft the glorious traditions of our country. He leaves an enviable 
record that will be as inspiring to those under whom and with 
whom he served as sustaining to his relatives and friends."

VIVION KEMPER MOUSER, '15 

" The joy of young adventurous ways, 

Of keen and undimmed sight, 
The eager tramp through sunny days, 

The dreamless sleep of night. 
The happy hours that come and go 

In youth's untiring quest. 
They gave, because they willed it so, 

With some light-hearted jest." 

VivioN Kemper Mouser had a long and varied mili- 
tary experience. Born in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, 
April 20, 1895, he received his early education at 
Randolph-Macon Academy, but later attended Phil- 
lips Academy and Kentucky Military Institute, going 
from there to the University of Michigan. He was in 
college at the time of the American Declaration of 
War, and immediately volunteered for the first Offi- 
cers' Training Camp at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. Be- 
fore this course was completed, he secured a transfer 
to the Field Artillery School at Camp Lee. At the 
close of his work there, he passed an examination for 
the Artillery School at Saumur, France, and sailed 
overseas. May 23, 1918. 

After spending three months at Saumur and receiv- 
ing his commission as Second Lieutenant, he was 
ordered to duty at the front and was in action through- 
out the great St. Mihiel drive. As an officer in the 
115th Field Artillery, he was in the midst of the battle 
of the Argonne Forest, where he was caught in a gas 
attack and suffered severely. He was given a leave of 
absence, which he spent at Nice and Monte Carlo, and 
then returned to his battery; but his lungs were still 
affected and he contracted pneumonia, from which he 
died, January 7, 1919.

JOHN LORING BAKER, 09 

" He in the soul's eternal cause 
Went forth as martyrs must — 
The kings who make the spirit laws 
And rule us from the dust." 

John Loring Bakee of Washington, D. C, entered 
Phillips Academy in the autumn of 1906, as a member 
of the class of 1909, but remained only somewhat less 
than a year. Early in the Great War he was commis- 
sioned as First Lieutenant, Ordnance Officers' Re- 
serve Corps. His principal station was with the Cana- 
dian Bridge Company at Walkerville, Ontario, where 
he was assigned as Inspector of Ordnance. There, on 
February 13, 1919, he died of pneumonia. 



146 



EDWARD RANKIN BRAINERD, '10 

"A soldier, yet less soldier than a man. 
Who gave to justice what a soldier can, — 
The courage of his arm, a patient heart, 
And the fire-soul that flamed when wrong began." 

George Edgar Montgomery, 

Edward Rankin Braineed of Los Angeles came to 
Phillips Academy in September, 1906, and remained 
three years. While in school, he was a member of the 
Phi Lambda Sigma society and made a wide circle of 
friends. He later graduated from the University of 
California as Bachelor of Science, and spent one year 
at Harvard Law School, at the close of which he set- 
tled down to the practice of law with the firm of Flint 
and Jutten in his native city. 

On May 20, 1918, he was inducted into military 
service and assigned to the 21st Infantry. After a 
course at the Field Artillery School at Camp Zachary 
Taylor, Kentucky, he was commissioned on October 
31 as a Second Lieutenant and assigned as Instructor 
in Riding and Driving in the same camp. Although, 
after the armistice, he was eligible for discharge, he 
remained, at the request of a superior officer, and was 
stationed at the camp Convalescent Center in charge 
of soldiers returned from overseas. There he con- 
tracted influenza, followed by pneumonia, and died, 
February 16, 1919. He was buried in Los Angeles on 
February 21, with full military honors. 

Although Lieutenant Brainerd was only twenty- 
nine years old at the time of his death, he had already 
made his mark as a man of force and influence in his 
community. Young though he was, he had not lived in 
vain ; and he gave his life in the spirit of self-sacrifice.

GEORGE WEBSTER OTIS, 14 

" Death comes with a crawl or it comes with a pounce, 
And whether it's slow or spry, 
It isn't the fact that you're dead that counts, 
It's only how did you die." 

George Webster Otis was born June 28, 1895, in 
Chicago. He spent two years at Phillips Academy, 
leaving at the close of the school year in 1913. He was 
in his Sophomore year at Yale when America de- 
clared war ; and in the following June he enlisted with 
the 17th United States Engineers (railway), which 
sailed for France on August 1, 1917, being one of the 
earliest regiments to go overseas. In August, 1918, he 
was recommended for a commission in the heavy artil- 
lery and, when the armistice was signed, was at the 
Saumur Artillery School. He graduated on December 
21, 1918. Shortly afterward he was stricken with 
appendicitis, and the operation which followed left 
him in a weakened condition. He contracted pneu- 
monia and died, February 18, in the Base Hospital, 
Savenay, France. His commission as Second Lieu- 
tenant was on its way but had not reached him, and it 
was later sent to his parents. 

Brigadier-General Charles G. Dawes, his com- 
manding general, cabled Otis's father as follows : — 

"Webster was conscious until the end and died without pain. 
He had high qualities of manhood. His generous and lovable dis- 
position and fine conduct as a soldier made him inexpressibly dear 
to his associates."

MEN CITED OR DECORATED FOR 
EXTRAORDINARY BRAVERY 

" He speaks not well who doth his time deplore, 
Naming it new and little and obscure, 
Ignoble and unfit for lofty deeds. 
All times were modern in the time of them. 
And this no more than others. Do thy part 
Here in the living day, as did the great 
Who made old days immortal ! So shall men. 
Gazing long back to this far-looming hour. 
Say : 'Then the time when men were truly men !' " 

Richard Watson Gilder. 

The following list is intended to include those 
Andover men who, for exceptional courage or intre- 
pidity in action, were awarded special honors by our 
own country or any of the various Allied nations. 
Doubtless some names of importance are unavoidably 
omitted; but every effort has been made to print a 
complete and accurate record. As it stands, the num- 
ber of those thus distinguished is sufficiently impres- 
sive. The names are arranged by classes, ranging from 
1892 to 1920, and every one is mentioned who has 
been reported at any time to the office of Phillips 
Academy.

PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

1892 
John Campbell Greenway, whose dramatic career 
in the Spanish War as a Lieutenant in Colonel Roose- 
velt's "Rough Riders" is well known to every An- 
dover man, was commissioned at the time of our en- 
trance into the war as a Major in the 101st Engineers 
and went with them to France in September, 1917. 
He was later, however, transferred to be Lieutenant- 
Colonel of the 101st Infantry, 26th Division, with 
which regiment he saw plenty of fighting. For extraor- 
dinary heroism in action near Verdun he was awarded

August of the same year to Aviation Service. He was 
breveted as a Pursuit Pilot on November 4, made a

and he perfected himself as an aviator in a single- 
seater, without a teacher in the plane. With William 
Thaw and Raoul Lufberry, he received from King 
Nicholas of Montenegro the Montenegrin War Cross, 
these three being the only Americans to win that 
honor. He had two fights with enemy aviators behind

Ambulance Formation in 1916, serving with Ambu- 
lance Unit XL On September 24, 1917, by order of 
the General commanding the French 74th Infantry, 
he was given the Croix de Guerre, with the following 
citation : — 

"The American Volunteer, Thomas Butkiewicz, Jr., sous- 
chef adjoint of S. U. XI, volunteered his services in 1916, 
from which time he has always shown the highest qualities of 
duty and technical ability. In March, 1917, in a dangerous 
sector during an attack of the enemy he assisted in bringing 
in a great number of wounded on roads exposed to heavy 
enemy shell-fire under extremely dangerous conditions. Upon 
the occupation of a sector recently conquered he organized 
the carrying of the wounded under a heavy bombardment of 
high explosive shells with a mastery of command and firmness 
which imparted to the men the same confidence." 

After America entered the war, he was commissioned 
a First Lieutenant in the United States Army, and 
made commanding officer of S. S. U. 523, of which 
he took charge on October 20, 1917. He received two 
individual citations, one on November 12, 1918, and 
another on January 8, 1919, entitling him to add one 
gold star, one silver star, and two palms to his original 
CroioD de Guerre. On January 13, 1919, the following 
citation was given to him and his unit by Marshal 
Petain : — 

"Section of volunteers who, immediately upon the declara- 
tion of war by America, put themselves generously at the 

152

service of the defense of right and liberty, all animated by the 
finest spirit of solidarity and sacrifice, and with the most ad- 
mirable courage, coolness, and intelligence. Under the com- 
mand of Lieutenant Butkiewicz the section won the admira- 
tion of all in every engagement it took part in with the divi- 
sion during a period of two years, assuring the transport of 
the wounded from the very front lines, in spite of all sorts of 
difficulties and the most violent bombardments, in the course 
of which a number of drivers were killed or wounded, and 
many cars were riddled by eclats or wrecked by shells." 

On March 1, 1919, Lieutenant Butkiewicz was honor- 
ably discharged from the American Army, and went 
at once to Poland in charge of the transportation ser- 
vice of the American Red Cross in that country.

tanks. In spite of the fact that he was unarmed, and the Ger- 
mans threatened his life if he moved, he signalled the tank and 
made his escape."

After leaving the ambulance service, Plow tried to 
enlist in the American Army, but failed because of 
defective eyesight. In January, 1918, he entered the 
Canadian Field Artillery and was sent in May to 
England, where he was located in camp when the ar- 
mistice was signed. He returned to Montreal in Jan- 
uary, 1919, where he was honorably discharged.

missioned, August 1, 1917, as a Second Lieutenant. 
On January 26, 1918, he was attached to the Royal 
Flying Corps (later the Royal Air Force), with the 
205th Squadron, being made a Lieutenant on August 
1, 1918. The chief function of his squadron was long- 
distance bombing and photography, but this did not 
prevent Lieutenant Preston from being credited with 
the bringing down of two Phalz scout planes, and for 
getting half the credit for a Halberstadt two-seater.

His health gave out, and he was sent to the hospital 
on October 28, 1918, but he has since recovered. 

Archibald Bullock RoosE^rELT, while in command 
of a platoon of the 26th Infantry, was struck by a 
shell on March 11, 1918. After lying several hours 
where he fell, he was carried to a dressing-station and 
thence to a Paris hospital, where it was found that his 
right knee was badly injured and his left arm broken 
in two places. The nerves at the elbow were cut, and, 
despite the best surgical care, the left arm remained 
paralyzed. Captain Roosevelt, for conspicuous gal- 
lantry in action on this occasion, was awarded the 
French Croix de Guerre. On September 2, 1918, he 
was invalided home. 

KiMBERLY Stuart of Neenah, Wisconsin, enlisted in 
the American Ambulance Service in 1916 and was

awarded the Croioc de Guerre for distinguished brav- 
ery. After serving six months at Verdun he drove an 
ambulance for seven months in the Balkans, where he 
was cited for rescuing wounded under fire. He then 
enlisted in the American Naval Aviation and was 
transferred to a training school in Italy. Later he was 
commissioned as Ensign in the United States Naval 
Reserve Force, working in Naval Aviation. His ser- 
vices with the Italian government were so notable that

Paul Tison of New York City enlisted in February, 
1916, in the American Ambulance Service with the 
French Army. In March of that year he joined Sec- 
tion 3, and was with this section as a driver until Sep- 
tember, serving at the front near Nancy and taking 
part in the great battles of Verdun, Pont-a-Mousson, 
and Bois-le-Pretre. From September until December 
he was with Section 1, attached to the 32d French 
Division in the Argonne Forest. After returning to 
America for a short visit, he returned in June, 1917, 
to France and enlisted in the Mallet Reserve, assigned 
to Section T. M. U. 526. He was mustered out in 
November, 1917, but left at once for Milan, Italy, 
where he joined the American Red Cross Ambulance 
Service with the Italian Army, reaching the Piave 
front on Christmas Eve. With Section 3, he did front 
line work as part of the 79th Sezione di Sanita, acting 
as chef de popote, or steward, for his section. In May, 
1918, he received the Italian Medaglia Distintivo. 
The account of the exploit which won him this deco- 
ration reads as follows : — 

"Paul Tison of New York and Wallace W. Kellett of 
Germantown, Pa., were driving an ambulance along the 
*lower river road' on the Piave front at a time when the Aus- 
trians were putting down a rather heavy barrage. At a posts 
de secours, just in front of the Italian second line, they were 
stopped by officers and advised not to go on. Disregarding 
the suggestion, they hurried on to the dressing-station. They 
were compelled to drive through the barrage and, by the time 
they reached a comparatively safe spot to park their ambu- 
lance under the bank of the Piave, the machine was riddled 

174

with shrapnel. Loading their car with wounded, they waited 
until the bombardment was less severe, and returned safely." 

In the summer of 1918 Tison was released and re- 
turned to Paris, where he was employed by the Paris 
headquarters of the United States Air Service. He 
was honorably discharged in December, 1918.

after transferred to the French Army Ambulance 
Service, Section 585. By special citation, issued June 
18, 1918, by General Segonne of the 128th Division, 
Larrabee was awarded the French Croix de Guerre. 
His citation reads as follows: — 

"Driver Lester H. Larrabee did not hesitate on June 4, 
1918, in response to a call from an advanced poste, to depart 
with his ambulance on a road heavily shelled by the enemy 
artillery ; he likewise distinguished himself by his courage 
and sang-froid in going some hundred metres from the lines, 
on the night of June 7 and on a road which he did not know, 
to gather up wounded." 

Norman Wakefield MacDonald went overseas 
with the Yale Ambulance Unit in May, 1917, and was 
attached to the French Army; but, as soon as the 
American forces arrived, he enlisted as a private, 
being assigned for duty with the French Ambulance 
Service. With three others in his section he received 
the Croix de Guerre for bravery in action at Verdun 
in September, 1917. Later, on October 23, 1918,

"It's a great old 'guerre' all right, and I wouldn't know 
what to do if it ever stopped." 

He was later promoted to be a First Lieutenant, and, 
on one occasion, was Acting Captain of the 43d Com- 
pany. During the last five hours of fighting he was 
wounded in the arm. The 2d Division had crossed the 
Meuse the night before and had entered the Boche 
lines; they attacked early in the morning and "Sid's" 
arm was broken in the charge, about daylight. He was 
removed to a captured farmhouse, as he was too far 
from the dressing-station to be safely carried there. 
About eleven o'clock two German officers appeared 
with white flags and asked if he knew the armistice 
was signed. He verified the report, and was then car- 
ried back to the dressing-station. 

For extraordinary heroism shown in this action near 
Beaumont, November 11, 1918, Lieutenant Thayer 
was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. His 
citation reads in part as follows: — 

"After having been wounded. Lieutenant Thayer remained 
with his company until its objective had been reached, refus- 
ing evacuation until rendered unconscious by loss of blood."

In addition Conroy has also received the Medaille 
Militaire, the highest French award for bravery. He 
was honorably discharged from service on March 6, 
1919, and returned at once to America. 

William Arthur Flint of New Haven, Connecti- 
cut, enlisted on June 8, 1917, as a private in the Yale

part in nearly all the major operations of the Ameri- 
can Army during 1918, and later going with the Army 
of Occupation into Germany.

Dudley Francis Cecil Wolfe has had his full 
share of army service of various kinds and has prob- 
ably a larger collection of medals than any other An- 
dover man. Enlisting on July 10, 1917, in the 1st 
Artillery, Maine National Guard, he was rejected 
when the regiment was federalized on account of 
defective eyesight and flat feet. He then, after being 
turned down by every other branch of service, volun- 
teered in the American Ambulance Service in France, 
and worked as a camion driver for one month on the 
Soissons front. For the next ten months he was an 
ambulance driver with the Italian Ambulance Ser- 
vice, in Section 2 on the Piave River. While engaged 
in this work, he was presented by the Duke of Aosta 
with the Italian medal of valor for exceptional brav- 
ery during the Austrian attack of June 14-24, 1918. 
He received also the Italian Croce di Guerra, the 
Italian Red Cross medal, and the Campaign medal 
for the Italian-Austrian War. On October 1, 1918, 
he enlisted in the famous French Legion Etrangere, 
receiving the French Volunteer Medal and the 
French Campaign Medal. The signing of the armis- 
tice found him still a member of the Foreign Legion.

Harold Robert Buckley of Agawam, Massachu- 
setts, one of Andover's two aces, has a record of 
achievement which few aviators can surpass. He went 
overseas in April, 1917, with the Andover Ambu- 
lance Unit, but soon found the camion service too 
sheltered and tame. He wrote home: — 

"The sight of old, tired men, as old as our fathers, covered 
with mud and carrying a pack of heavy equipment, dragging 
themselves along the roads to and from the trenches, was too

much for us, and practically all of us have changed, or soon 
will, from the field service to something else where we can feel 
that we are doing all we can, and not merely a part." 

Enlisting on October 25 as a private in the Avia- 
tion Section, Signal Corps, he soon showed himself a 
cool and skilful airman. On December 12 he received 
his First Lieutenant's bar, and was assigned to the 
1st Pursuit Group, 95th Aero Squadron, as a member 
of which he was associated with James Knowles, the 
other Andover ace. Buckley's first victory was won 
on May 30, 1918, and for it he was awarded the Croix 
de Guerre on November 29, by special order of Gen- 
eral Petain. The citation reads as follows: — 

"Pilote de chasse et chef de patrouille calme et determine. 
A attaque des avions et des ballons et mitraille des troupes a 
terre a faible altitude. Le 30 mai, 1918, a, avec sa patrouille 
livre combat a deux avions ennemis dont Fun fut abattu, 
I'autre force de descendre desempare." 

On August 10 he performed a feat of extraordinary- 
heroism in action which won him the American Dis- 
tinguished Service Cross, presented on November 21. 
The exploit is described as follows : — 

"Captain Buckley was on a patrol protecting a French 
biplane observation machine, when they were suddenly set 
upon by six enemy planes. Captain Buckley attacked and 
destroyed the nearest, and the remainder fled into their own 
territory. He then carried on with his mission until he had 
escorted the Allied plane safely to its own aerodrome." 

Another exhibition of daring on September 26 and 
27, near Reiville, France, gave him a Bronze Oak 
Leaf in addition to his Distinguished Service Cross. 
His citation reads : — 

"Captain Buckley dived through a violent and heavy air- 
craft and machine-gun fire and set on fire an enemy balloon

that was being lowered to its nest. On the next day, while 
leading a patrol, he met and sent down in flames an enemy

His promotion to be Captain, Air Service, arrived on 
November 1, 1918, at which time he wrote: — 

"Of the twenty aviators in my squadron who started with 
me at the front, there are only five left, including myself. . j. . 
I am now an ace, with five official victories to my credit." ' 

Captain Buckley has also been given the American 
Aero Club Medal for brilliant service. He returned 
to America in March, 1919, and received his honorable 
discharge. 

James Henry Eaton of Lawrence, Massachusetts, 
joined the American Red Cross Ambulance Service 
in May, 1918, and was sent to Italy for duty. He 
served along the Piave front from June to September, 
1918, and was awarded the Italian War Cross for 
"bravery under fire." Section Number 3, to which he 
belonged, won unusual distinction because of the part 
it played in supplying those in the front line with 
munitions and other necessary supplies at a time dur- 
ing the great Austrian drive when all other means of 
securing them had been cut off. 

Eaton left the ambulance work in order to enlist in 
the British Royal Air Force, and was accepted at 
once for training. At the time of the armistice he was 
in England undergoing instruction. He was honor- 
ably discharged on February 27, 1919, receiving at 
that time an honorary Second Lieutenancy in the 
Royal Air Force. He returned to America in March, 
1919. 

Eaele Lancaster was a member of Battery A in 
Boston and, after the American Declaration of War, 

182

trained three months at Boxford, Massachusetts. 
When the National Guard was federalized, however, 
he was honorably discharged because of a bad ankle 
resulting from a football injury. For the same cause 
he was rejected by the navy and the aviation service. 
Volunteering in the American Ambulance Field Ser- 
vice, he sailed overseas on October 1, 1917. Once in 
France, he enlisted in the United States Army, was 
accepted, and assigned to Section 638, Convois Autos. 
His entire section was cited three times. He himself 
was cited for bravery under fire and was decorated 
with the French Croix de Guerre for distinguished 
courage. 

MuiR Whillas Lind of Detroit, Michigan, enlisted 
in May, 1917, as an ambulance driver with the Ameri- 
can Ambulance Field Service, becoming a member of 
Sanitary Service Unit 638. He was awarded the 
Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery, and received 
both army and divisional citations. When the United 
States entered the war, he enlisted in our own army, 
but was assigned to his former work and section. 

Mortimer James Miller of Rochester, New York, 
was awarded the French Croix de Guerre for extraor- 
dinary heroism. 

1918 
Davis Nic holes Ripley of Newton Center, Massa- 
chusetts, enlisted in May, 1917, in the Harjes-Norton 
Ambulance Formation, Section 62. On September 28, 
1917, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre, by Order 
No. 88, of the 13th Army Corps. His citation reads as 
follows : — 

"Charge d'assurer les evacuations dans un secteur tres

tion de son service." 

Ellis Van Dee Pyl was only eighteen years old 
when he enlisted in the Signal Corps and was sent to 
France. He attended the Army Signal School at 
Langres, France, and, after five weeks, was ordered 
to the front. On one occasion near Seicheprey the Ger- 
mans attacked and Van Der Pyl, with four comrades, 
was caught in a dugout five feet below the ground and 
obliged to remain until the Americans counter- 
attacked. At Chateau- Thierry he was in charge of a 
signal station. While he was laying a communicating 
wire, a grenade burst behind him, wounding him in 
the wrist, but he returned on the same day to duty. 
The exploit which won him the Croix de Guerre was 
an act of conspicuous bravery. With three companions 
he was located in a signal station, when it was dis- 
covered that the telephone line was broken. He and 
one other followed the line out into No Man's Land 
to find the break. His comrade was knocked down by 
a piece of shrapnel, but Van Der Pyl continued on, 
found the separation and joined it, and then, return- 
ing to his friend, carried him back to the station. Dur- 
ing the St. Mihiel drive in September, he was cited by 
his superior oflEicer for notable work in securing in- 
formation about the enemy's plans, and was promoted 
to a Sergeancy. A few days afterward he was gassed 
while laying a wire, and was in the hospital at the time 
of the armistice. He was not able to rejoin his com- 
pany until December 10. Van Der Pyl, in addition to 
his other honors, has been recommended for the Dis- 
tinguished Service Cross.

THE ANDOVER AMBULANCE UNIT 

BY FREDERICK JOSEPH DALY 
FORMERLY FIRST LIEUTENANT, M. T. C. 

The Phillips Academy Ambulance Unit of twenty- 
two men was organized through the personal efforts 
of Principal Alfred E. Stearns, and a generous re- 
sponse to those efforts on the part of our alumni. It 
enjoys the distinction of being the only preparatory 
school unit sent out for volunteer work in the Great 
War. Furthermore it was organized before our coun- 
try declared war on Germany. Only the lack of trans- 
portation prevented an earlier start. 

Through the kindness of our alumni in New York 
City a farewell reception was held at the Harvard 
Club. The chief speaker was Principal Stearns, and 
it was fitting that he should have been so, since no man 
had our welfare more at heart, no man had done more 
to get the unit started, no man had the cause of our 
leaving and the cause of the Allies more on his mind 
than the Principal. What he said to us will always be 
remembered. The encouragement and inspiration 
given in that talk went far towards carrying the unit 
successfully on its mission, — a mission that brought 
results and contributed not a little for the end which 
has since come about. 

On April 28, 1917, the unit embarked aboard the 
French liner, "La Touraine." The guns mounted fore 
and aft gave us the first thrill of the war. Fortunately 
or unfortunately, we had no occasion to use them. In 
addition to the mounted pieces we found many poilus 

188 



AMBULANCE UNIT 

returning for another tour in the trenches. Aviators, 
and other volunteers for ambulance work in the French 
armies, together with our unit, comprised the ship pas- 
senger list. 

Soon after dropping the pilot, the vessel ran into a 
severe snowstorm which lasted about four days, with 
the result that there was some disturbance in the 
Interior Department, and the subsequent proceedings 
took place in accordance with the custom in such cases. 
It was possible to find room in any part of the vessel 
except the railing. There was one consolation at that 
period; we had no fear of submarines. The only fear 
seemed to be that a submarine would not appear and 
settle the matter. 

After everybody recovered, the Andover Unit 
began to show what real stuff it possessed, and a chal- 
lenge was issued for a contest of any kind whatsoever, 
no exceptions being made. Two "huskies" finally 
offered battle in the challenge for a wrestling match, 
and Frank Talmage, '18, and Schuyler Lee, '18, 
were the representatives to uphold the honor of the 
school, — which they did most completely. There was 
no mistake about their success, although they were 
beaten if the size of their opponents amounted to any- 
thing. On high seas, therefore, Phillips Academy was 
holding its own ; and no more acceptances came from 
our fellow passengers. 

The unit debarked at Bordeaux, and were there 
about long enough to see the varied uniforms of the 
French troops and to learn that we had come at a time 
when there was a great need for help. This was further 
impressed upon us shortly after the unit reached the 
headquarters of the American Field Service. 

Although we had come as an Ambulance Unit, we 

189 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

changed to the Motor Truck branch of the French 
Army, since we found that we could render service in 
that branch more effectively than in ambulance work. 
We were told of the most urgent appeal that had come 
from the French High Command, asking for volun- 
teers to man the trucks. So, after much serious thought 
in the matter, all but four changed to truck work, — a 
work which had few if any thrills, but which proved 
to be as important as any branch of service. 

The unit also enjoyed the distinction of being 
among the first Americans to march through Paris 
under arms, as each man was supplied with French 
rifle, helmet, and gas-mask. At the Gare de I'Est the 
unit was an object of admiration and wonder com- 
bined : admiration, because they knew we were Ameri- 
cans, and wonder, because they could not tell just 
what army we were fighting with, since our uniform 
resembled that of the British and our other equipment 
was manifestly French. 

The train finally got under way for Dommiers, a 
small village about fifteen miles southwest of Soissons. 
Here we received instruction on the motor convoy 
system in the French Army and some drill under the 
French Lieutenant in charge of the camp, — a man 
who had been wounded twice during the first battle of 
the Marne in 1914. We had one day's work on the 
targets ; f ortunatelj^ only one, for it is doubtful if the 
rifles issued would have lasted another dozen rounds. 
They were remnants of the Franco-Prussian War, 
and of other wars of an earlier date. The result of 
firing a shot was just about as bad behind the stock as 
in front of the muzzle. The only way you could tell 
was by the smoke screen at the muzzle end, which con- 
cealed the view in front for some time. We were not 

190 



AMBULANCE UNIT 

surprised when we heard of the success the smoke 
screen had at sea. These were the guns, however, or 
guns hke these, which helped to stop the German 
hordes at the beginning of the war. We were learning 
each day of the trials and difficulties which the gallant 
French soldiers endured from the day of mobilization. 
They took what was given them and met successfully 
the organized, well-equipped, and well-trained band 
of Huns. 

The training period of the unit came to an end on 
June 1, 1917, and it was then sent as a section in the 
Mallet Reserve, named from the French Captain in 
command. A reserve in this sense is quite different 
from the meaning of that word as applied, for ex- 
ample, to the infantry and artillery. In the French 
Automobile Service it was used as a reserve to be 
called upon for transporting material of any kind to 
any point for any of the armies, — a very satisfactory 
and efficient way of utilizing motor equipment. It was 
hard on the men, but that is true of any branch in war 
time. 

The camp at this period was located about midway 
between Soissons and Rheims, — a region which later 
became the scene of fierce attacks and counter-attacks. 
From this camp the various units would receive orders 
from the French headquarters to transport ammuni- 
tion and engineer materiel to any point between the 
above-mentioned places, in preparation for the big 
attack on the Chemin des Dames. For six months, 
therefore, the unit hauled night and day, and espe- 
cially at night when working north of the Aisne line, 
that region being within the range of the enemy's fire. 
Driving five-ton trucks loaded to capacity over roads 
congested by troop, artillery, and other transport 

191

movements, with a time set for leaving the depots and 
a time set for arrival at some point designated from 
headquarters made the task far from an easy one. 
Then, in addition, when one had to breathe all day 
and all night clouds of dust such as those turned up by 
the French roads, it can be taken for granted that a 
job of this nature took something more than the mere 
ability to drive. It was stated at one time that the 
drivers could tell the approximate distance of the 
vehicle in front by the taste of the dust, and there must 
have been truth in that statement, for it was not pos- 
sible to see anything in certain spots at night. How- 
ever there was a slight consolation to be had from the 
fact that we were riding on vehicles as large as, if not 
larger than, anything to be met with on the roads. 

It has been stated by men in authority that the 
Mallet Reserve, of which the Phillips Academy Unit 
was a part, hauled one-half the material used during 
the attack on the Chemin des Dames in October, 1917, 
the objective being Fort Malmaison and the heights 
overlooking the valley of the Ailette River. The ob- 
jective was reached after the greatest artillery prepa- 
ration of the war, and the Academy boys played no 
insignificant part in making the attack a success. 

To the Principal and to those who responded to his 
appeal all praise is due. Nothing could have been 
appreciated more by our French comrades, and at a 
time when few Americans were ready to help. Our 
greeting everywhere was warm and cordial, and the 
thanks given to us for our volunteer work by those in 
command of the French armies was heartfelt and sin- 
cere. This mingling of French and Americans brought 
about a lasting friendship and understanding between 
the two peoples, and consequently the decision to turn

aside all previous plans formed before leaving Amer- 
ica was well worth while and richly rewarded. 

The next question that had to be solved was the part 
the members were to play in the American Army, 
when, in October, 1917, the opportunity came for all 
to make the decision. Everyone who was able joined 
the aviation branch, only two remaining in the trans- 
port service. Whatever branch was decided upon, the 
men of Andover continued to render at all times the 
best they had in them. Some, indeed, have given all 
they had in rendering this service. They have left us, 
but will not be forgotten. 

THE RECORD OF THE MEMBERS 

Frederick Joseph Daly, '07, Coach of the Andover 
football team and Assistant to the Principal, was ex- 
actly the man to lead the Andover Unit, and Dr. 
Stearns, when he was arranging for his project of 
sending a group of boys overseas, was particularly de- 
lighted when he learned that Mr. Daly was not only 
willing but eager to go with them. Upon him rested 
the responsibility of directing the unit after it left 
New York, and he had to help the members to make 
many important decisions. His qualities of leadership 
and his excellent judgment in moments when prompt- 
ness of action was required were large factors in mak- 
ing the unit a credit to the school which it represented. 
When the unit was breaking up, Mr. Daly enlisted 
in the American Army as a private on October 1,1917, 
and was shortly after, on November 24, commissioned 
as a Second Lieutenant in the Quartermaster Corps, 
assigned for duty with the work of motor transporta- 
tion. When the Motor Transport Corps was organized 
in the summer of 1918, Lieutenant Daly was one of 

193 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

the earliest officers to be transferred to it; and, on 
October 1, 1918, he received a well-deserved promo- 
tion to be First Lieutenant, M. T. C. He returned to 
America in January, 1919, and was honorably dis- 
charged on February 3. 



Alexander Bern Bruce, '11, who, as we have seen, 
fell to death on August 17, 1918, had been an In- 
structor at Phillips Academy and acted as assistant 
to Lieutenant Frederick Joseph Daly, who was in 
charge of the Andover Unit. Bruce, although older 
than the boys in the party, had a youthful spirit and 
was very popular with them. Although he was natu- 
rally reticent and quiet, he told in his letters of the 
pleasure which he found in associating with these 
younger companions ; and he was fully their equal in 
audacity and courage. He wrote frequently about his 
adventures with them and their eagerness to see actual 
combat. He himself was a brilliant aviator, and he 
died, as he would have wished to give his life, in action. 



Elbridge Adams, '17, of Williamstown, Massachu- 
setts, did not choose camion service but remained in 
ambulance work, leaving Paris with Section 26 on 
May 28, 1917. The section proceeded to Oncement, 
where it formed part of the 19th Division, 10th Corps, 
2d French Army. Oncement is about three miles 
south of Verdun on the Meuse River, and was then 
some three miles from the French lines. For some 
weeks the work was light, but, during the great 
French attack of September, 1917, many wounded 
men were carried to the base hospitals and the section 
was frequently bombed. 

194 



AMBULANCE UNIT 

In October the section was cited from Corps head- 
quarters and given a Croix de Guerre j, with a gold star. 
On October 23 Adams left the front, arriving in New 
York on November 12, 1917. 

David Hay At water, '17, went overseas in April, 
1917, with the Andover Ambulance Unit, and, for a 
time, took part with the others in the camion service. 
Later, however, he secured his transfer into ambu- 
lance driving, at which he was occupied until Novem- 
ber, when he left for home and entered college, much 
against his own wishes. Some of his experiences were 
most interesting. On September 7, 1917, he wrote: — 
"On the 2d eight shells landed within thirty yards of me, 
one being less than twenty yards away. I was hit in the thigh 
with a stone, but only bruised. On the night of the 3d I ran 
into some gas which the sergeant at the post said was the 
worst he had ever been in. Hundreds of us passed out, and 
among them myself and another boy in the Section. It smells 
like new-mown hay. On the 4th and 5th I had some close calls 
too. On the 5th they bombarded the post very heavily, and 
our dugout was nearly smashed. Since then nothing has ar- 
rived nearer than 200 yards." 

Chester Arthur Bates, '19, after serving his period 
of enlistment in camion driving, enlisted in the United 
States Naval Reserve Corps, as a flying cadet. After 
training in Italy, he was commissioned as Ensign in 
the Naval Aviation branch of the service. He was 
honorably discharged, March, 1919, shortly after his 
return to America. 

Playford Boyle, '19, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, 
went to France with the Andover Ambulance Unit 
and worked for nearly six months in the camion ser- 

195 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

vice. With Dole and Crane, also of the unit, he ap- 
plied for aviation almost as soon as he arrived over- 
seas; but it was not until October 29, 1917, that he 
was allowed to leave the French Army and enlist as 
a private in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps. 
He was held for training for some months at St. 
Maixent, and later at Chateauroux and Issoudun, re- 
ceiving his commission as Second Lieutenant, Avia- 
tion Service, on May 18, 1918. Airplanes being at that 
time far from plentiful, he saw no active combat work. 
He returned to America early in 1919, and was honor- 
ably discharged on February 10. He reentered Phil- 
lips Academy for the spring term, graduating in June, 
1919. 

Harold Robert Buckley, '17, whose glorious record 
as an aviator will long be memorable in the annals of 
the school, was the only one of the Andover Unit to 
win the Distinguished Service Cross. In combat, he 
was extraordinarily cool and skilful, and he became 
an ace without accident or mishap. His rank of Cap- 
tain was also the highest attained by any of the mem- 
bers of the unit. The details of his career are related 
on another page of this volume. 

Paul Howard Crane, '17, of Montclair, New Jersey, 
after completing his term of enlistment with the An- 
dover Unit, enlisted, with Boyle and Dole, in the 
American Army as a private in the Aviation Service 
of the Signal Corps. After some instruction at St. 
Maixent, he was ordered to Voves and from there to 
Issoudun, where, on May 18, 1918, he was commis- 
sioned as Second Lieutenant, Air Service. He was 
honorably discharged in February, 1919, and returned 
to Yale University to finish his course.

Robert Alden Dole, '18, of Andover, went overseas 
with the Andover Ambulance Unit and for six months 
drove in the camion service, being discharged on Octo- 
ber 28. He made every effort to enlist in aviation, but 
was rejected on account of his youth; and, after driv- 
ing a United States Staff car in Paris for some weeks, 
he enlisted in the Air Service, Supply Department, 
later transferring to the Radio Department as an 
inspector. After the armistice he was taken into the 
Liquidation Department and made a member of the 
Purchasing Board for the Army of Occupation. 

Paul Rice Doolin, '16, joined the unit after Com- 
mencement and sailed from New York, June 25, 1917, 
arriving in Bordeaux on July 4. After two weeks of 
training, he was assigned to duty driving a camion, 
and served for three months, taking part in the battles 
of Chemin des Dames and the Aisne. He then en- 
listed as a private in the United States Army, at the 
same time applying for aviation. In March, 1918, he 
began training as a cadet aviator, at Chaumont, and 
in August he received his commission as Second Lieu- 
tenant. He had just completed his course of instruc- 
tion as a chasse pilot at Issoudun when the armistice 
was signed. He was later detailed for work on a his- 
tory of American Aviation in France. 



George Eaton Dresser, '17, did not accompany the 
original members of the Andover Unit abroad in 
April, but remained to graduate from Phillips Acad- 
emy in June and then sailed at once overseas, joining 
his friends at the front in the camion service. He later 
enlisted in the Tank Corps, and, on September 6, 
1918, went into action. On the early morning of Sep- 

197 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

tember 12 he went forward with his company, but his 
tank stuck in a ditch ; thereupon he and several other 
"dismounted" tank drivers went forward and captured 
a German machine gun nest, at the same time taking 
many prisoners. On September 25 the company moved 
to Vauquois Woods. On the following morning, while 
his tank with seven others was advancing, a shell hit 
the front of his machine. Dresser was killed instantly, 
and his comrade in the tank was seriously wounded 
and permanently blinded. Dresser was a resolute, 
manly fellow, who inspired confidence and had great 
powers of leadership. One of his companions writes 
that he was one of the "best liked and most respected 
men in the company." 



Thomas Haskins Joyce, '17, of Pasadena, Califor- 
nia, sailed with the Andover Ambulance Unit and 
spent five months in France, working in Section 12. 
In October, 1917, he returned to America and at once 
enlisted in the Air Service, being called to active duty 
in February, 1918, at the School of Military Aero- 
nautics at Berkeley, California. After graduating, he 
spent a month at Camp Dick, Dallas, Texas, and was 
then assigned to Carruthers Field at Fort Worth as 
Flying Instructor. On July 2, when his commission 
was only two weeks away, he crashed, escaping with a 
right arm badly crushed at the wrist. He was in the 
hospital or on sick leave until January 9, 1919, when 
he returned to Fort Worth, where he received his 
honorable discharge. 

Robert Treat Knowles, '18, of Newton Center, 
Massachusetts, went overseas with the Andover Am- 

198 



AMBULANCE UNIT 

bulance Unit and served six months in France as a 
member of S. S. U. 13, which was attached to the 4th 
French Army, operating in the Champagne sector and 
the Argonne. In October, 1917, his section was at- 
tached to the 2d French Army, near Verdun. While 
working in this vicinity, Knowles was in the hospital 
ten days, suffering from shell shock. He returned 
home in December, 1917, where, at Harvard, he com- 
pleted the Reserve Officers' Training Camp course as 
Regimental Supply Sergeant. In August, 1918, he 
enlisted in the Field Artillery Central Officers' Train- 
ing School at Camp Taylor and was graduated and 
commissioned a Second Lieutenant in December, 
1918. Shortly after, he received his honorable dis- 
charge. 

George Lawrence, '19, of Binghamton, New York, 
of the Andover Ambulance Unit, chose camion work, 
and from May 20 until October 28, 1917, worked near 
the front between Soissons and Rheims. On December 
17, 1917, he arrived home, having been rejected in the 
American and British Aviation Service on account of 
his youth. When he became eighteen, he enlisted on 
April 5, 1918, in the Royal Air Force at Toronto, 
Canada. He became Lance-Corporal and Corporal, 
and was finally commissioned as Flight Cadet on 
November 27, 1918. He was honorably discharged on 
the same day. While in training, he crashed to earth 
from a height of five hundred feet, but escaped with 
minor injuries. 



Schuyler Lee, '18, whose death in action on April 
12, 1917, robbed the Andover Unit of the second of its 
members, — Jack Wright having been first, — was the 

199 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

first of the number actually to leave for aviation, and, 
unlike the others, he enlisted in the French Army, in 
the LaFayette Escadrille. While Jack Wright and 
"Bill" Taylor were training at Tours and Issoudun, 
Lee was undergoing instruction at Avord ; and he was 
probably the earliest of the unit to go into the air, as 
he was also the first to take part in real combat. The 
story of his army career is told elsewhere in this vol- 
ume. Like Wright and Taylor, he was a gallant 
figure, who had about him the glamor of romance. It 
was of young men like these that Dr. Stearns was 
thinking when he wrote to Schuyler's father: — 

"As I have noted the ever growing list of old Andover boys 
who have so willingly given their lives for humanity and the 
establishment of God's eternal principles of righteousness and 
justice, it has seemed to me as if it could not be mere accident 
that has decreed that the best should be first taken, and on 
the first list of our thirty boys, — heroes all, — are the names 
of many of the strongest, the most promising, and the cleanest 
boys it has been my privilege as a schoolmaster to know." 

Charles Grant Littlefield, '19, as a member of 
the Andover Ambulance Unit, served in the French 
camion service from May until October, 1917. He 
was then honorably discharged from the French 
Army, but was rejected by the American Army on 
account of physical disability. He returned to his 
father's home in Toronto, and, on April 1, 1918, en- 
listed, with George Lawrence, another Andover boy, 
in the Canadian Flying Corps, which later became the 
British Royal Air Force. At the time of the signing of 
the armistice he was still a cadet aviator, and, together 
with all other members of the Royal Air Force in 
Canada, was honorably discharged from service.

AMBULANCE UNIT 

John McKnight Sawhill, '20, after arriving in 
France, went with most of the other members of the 
unit into camion service, but, in July, 1917, enlisted 
as a private in the United States Army, Aviation 
Corps. After training at Tours, he received, in No- 
vember, his brevet as a Military Pilot Aviator. He was 
sent for special training in combat work to the Ameri- 
can Flying School at Issoudun, and was there, in 
December, commissioned as a First Lieutenant. On 
January 4 he fell about six hundred feet to the ground, 
being fortunate to escape with a broken upper left 
arm. He was sent to the hospital, over which his 
friends, "Bill" Taylor and Harold Buckley, used to 
fly almost every day. Taylor, indeed, flew so low that 
an order was published at the school forbidding any- 
one to "perform acrobatics over towns or hospitals." 
SawhilFs arm refused to knit, and he was obliged to 
remain under care until November, when he was al- 
lowed to sail for home. After landing at Newport 
News, November 18, he was sent to Fort McHenry 
for further treatment. Sawhill was Jack Wright's 
roommate in the camion service, and Wright speaks 
of the former in his letters, published in the volume 
A Poet of the Air. 

Frank Mathias Talmage, '18, of Great Barrington, 
Massachusetts, after completing his period of service 
in camion and ambulance work, enlisted in the Ameri- 
can Army as a private, and was later commissioned, 
on February 18, 1918, as a Second Lieutenant in the 
Quartermaster Corps. He was stationed at Brest, 
France. 

William Henky Taylor, Jr., '18, whose dramatic 
death in combat on September 18, 1918, has already 

201 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

been described, was probably the most skilful and 
daring of the younger American aviators. His ex- 
ploits at Issoudun were remembered for months after 
he left there, — especially his feat of flying under low- 
hanging wires into a hospital court and then out over 
the enclosing wall, a "stunt" which few airmen would 
have cared to attempt. Brief though his career was, he 
had already made himself a name which is memorable 
in the history of American aviation. 

He was popular with everybody. Lieutenant Bruce 
C. Hopper describes him at Toul as one of the "Four 
Musketeers" : — 

"Big Bill Taylor was Porthos ; Jack Sawhill, the fiery en- 
thusiast, was d'Artagnan; I, because of my few additional 
years and gravity, was Athos ; and Jack Wright was Aramis." 

One of the youngest of the Andover Unit, he was also 
one of the most brilliant. Nothing could repress his 
ardent spirit or daunt his impetuous soul. 



Percy Weston Wanamaker, '17, was a member of 
the first Andover Ambulance Unit, and was stationed 
in the Champagne District in Section Sanitaire Amer- 
icaine No. 27. On July 21, 1917, he wrote: — 

"We have been very fortunate in going right to the front 
line posts the second day out and have done a lot of work. 
We are in a lively sector ; in fact the most lively of the French 
front. . . . The first place we were working consisted of two 
first line posies de secours which required five cars, and evac- 
uation work at the field hospital which kept five more cars 
busy. The French had two successful attacks while we were 
there and during that time there were 15 cars going steadily. 
. . . We were sent to the posies de secours for 48 hours at a 
time. One fellow tried to see how long he could sleep at one 

202 



AMBULANCE UNIT 

time during the night out there. He tried often, and 35 min- 
utes was his record ; so you can see we were pretty busy." 

Another experience reads as follows: — 

"I was going to a post in the third line trench. It was night 
as it would be impossible to go there during the day. We got 
out of the gas, which is thrown in shells, and were within 
14 mile of the trench when two 'black marias' lit one on each 
side of the road 50 yards ahead. We cut through the black 
smoke. That wasn't so bad, but after we had reached the post 
and were speaking to a Frenchman about going down into the 
dugout, a shell exploded in the same trench and not 15 yards 
away. I can see the flash of the explosion yet and just won- 
dered which one of us would get it ; but we didn't get touched, 
and the Frenchman wasted no time in showing us down the 
stairs of an old German dugout, more than 25 feet deep. The 
next day we saw that the shell had split so that three pieces 
formed three fourths of the shell. This saved us." 

In November, 1917, when the Americans took over 
the ambulance forces, Wanamaker was rejected be- 
cause of poor eyesight. He returned home, arriving 
November 28, 1917. On May 1, 1918, however, he en- 
listed in the Coast Artillery Corps and sailed on Sep- 
tember 18 for France with the 54th Regiment. 

Harold Burton Whipp, '19, after completing most 
creditably his period of enlistment with the Andover 
Unit, returned to this country. He graduated with his 
class at Phillips Academy in June, 1919. 

Henry Cutler Wolfe, '20, after driving six months 
in the French camion service, went to Italy, on De- 
cember 6, 1917, as an ambulance driver with the 
American Red Cross. He served until July 3, 1918, 
and then tried to enlist in aviation, but was rejected. 
Returning to America, he entered Kenyon College as 

203 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

a member of the Student Army Training Camp there, 
in which he held the rank of Sergeant. He was honor- 
ably discharged on December 14, 1918. 



Jack Moreis Weight, '17, of New York City en- 
tered aviation and, shortly after winning his commis- 
sion as First Lieutenant, was killed, January 24, 1918, 
by an accidental fall of his plane. In his letters, pub- 
lished under the title A Poet of the Air, he frequently 
mentions the Andover Unit. In May, shortly after his 
arrival in France, he went with a transport section to 
carry munitions up to the front. "The work is that of 
a man and will probably make men of us all," he wrote. 
Again he said : — 

"I am on a trip of adventure and am therefore rushed with 
new adventure every minute of my life. As a result 1 am be- 
coming more as ye ancient adventurer who rode the moonlit 
highways long ago with a rapier by his side and a swear-word 
for a bible." 

Later the camion service seemed to him unworthy of 
young men: — 

"I have no right to the comradeship of men who put no 
price to their lives or at least who have the grit to stand up 
for some god or other. If a man can't come over here to fight, 
he has no right to share with the fighters — to enjoy the 
beauty of a land that's waging war — to seek the sympathy of 
women in mourning." 

In July, therefore, he entered the aviation service: — 

"I have just taken the biggest step of my life — not through 
bewilderment or through morbidness, but coolly and decid- 
edly, obeying to a call that for me dominates the world and 
its many voices." 

204 



AMBULANCE UNIT 

On September 1, when he had secured his uniform as 
a private in the American Army, he wrote Dr. Stearns 
of his decision, in a letter which speaks eloquently of 
the affection and admiration which he and the other 
boys of the unit felt for the Principal : — 

"At first we were satisfied with automobile service, but in 
continuation with that same spirit we had cultivated back on 
Brothers' Field, we, as a majority, have joined the American 
Aviation with the ambition of representing the place we came 
from, to your complete satisfaction, for though a third of a 
year and three thousand miles away, we still take pride in 
saying, after a good piece of work, 'I guess Al would be 
pleased at that. . . .' Since we have been over here we have 
learned to sympathize with more than the 'Rah-rah' side of 
life, and to perfect our first comprehension of the words you 
endeavored to brand us with. We thank you for it — for the 
foreword you gave to this larger outlook; for the warning, 
the guiding, the inspiration we owe you. ... It would not be 
irrelevant to add that half the Andover Unit is now in train- 
ing and shall soon be the 'Commissioned Flying' Andover 
Unit, in the service of America, just as in former wars." 

In their training as flyers he and Jack Sawhill were 
rivals, in a friendly fashion, until the latter had the 
unfortunate fall which broke his arm and put him per- 
manently out of aviation. On January 19 Lieutenant 
Wright began taking spirals : — 

"That will be the beginning of more rapidly succeeding 
and more vital points of interest ; that is, more dangerous 
slips and drops to be caught up in true, more business-like, 
warlike flying." 

Five days later, in a practice flight, he was killed. His 
friend, Lieutenant Bruce C. Hopper, wrote of him: — 

"To one as temperamentally constructed as Jack, all this 
marvellous phenomenon of the sixth sense, the 'feel' of flying, 

205 



PHILLIPS ACADEMY IN THE WAR 

was an endless study. He loved it all, and made others under- 
stand it better because of his finer perceptions. Other than 
his beautiful personality I think this, the appreciation of the 
powers of the air, was Jack's greatest contribution to the 
pioneers of American aviation in France. As the dreamer of 
real castles in the air, Jack shall long be remembered."

MAJOR GENERAL JAMES PARKER. *T() 

COMMANDING 32d AND 85th DIVISIONS, U.S.A. 



JAMES PARKER, '70 

MAJOR GENERAL, U. S. A. 

James Parker, after graduating from Phillips Acad- 
emy in the class of 1870, went to Rutgers and to West 
Point, from which he was commissioned in 1876, as a 
Second Lieutenant in the 4th Cavalry. He served with 
distinction in several Indian campaigns, and was later 
in Cuba and the Philippines. For valor displayed in 
the Spanish War he was awarded a Congressional 
Medal of Honor. During the Mexican trouble in 1916, 
he was stationed on the Rio Grande, and, when Gen- 
eral Pershing was sent to France as commander of the 
American Expeditionary Forces, it was Brigadier 
General Parker who succeeded him as head of the 
Southern Department. On August 22, 1917, he re- 
ceived his commission as Major General, and was 
assigned as Commanding General of the 32d Division. 
He saw active service in France in October near 
Peronne and Armentieres and at the battle of Mal- 
maison, October 23-30. In December he was trans- 
ferred to the 85th Division, and, on February 20, 
1918, having reached the age of statutory retirement, 
retired to private life. 

General Parker, who was a veteran cavalryman, 
was known along the Mexican border as "Galloping 
Jim." No officer in the United States Army has had a 
more distinguished record as a trainer of troops, and 
his work in organizing and preparing the men for the 
National Army has been of the highest order.

MAJOR GENERAL HENRY G. SHARPE, '76 

COMMANDING GENERAL, SOUTHEASTERN DEPARTMENT, U. S. A. 



HENRY GRANVILLE SHARPE, '76 

MAJOR GENERAL, U. S. A. 

Henry Granville Sharpe, after spending two years 
at Phillips Academy in 1873-75, went to Rutgers and 
West Point, graduating from the latter institution 
in 1880. Appointed a Captain in the Subsistence 
Department by President Arthur, he rose rapidly 
through the various ranks until he became Brigadier 
General. Several important books of his on problems 
of army supply gave him prestige, and in 1912, when 
the present Quartermaster Corps was established. 
General Sharpe was made Acting Quartermaster 
General. He received his full appointment to this 
office in 1916. 

With the entrance of the United Sta'tes into the 
Great War, General Sharpe's experience became ex- 
ceedingly valuable. The establishment of the Quarter- 
master Training Camp at Camp Johnston, Jackson- 
ville, Florida, was due mainly to his foresight, and the 
plans for its operation were laid down by him. In the 
spring of 1918, General Sharpe was made a member 
of the War Council, and a month or two later he was 
given an appointment as Major General in the line of 
the army. It was on this occasion that President Wil- 
son wrote him, "You may be sure that it gave me a 
great deal of pleasure to have an opportunity to show 
my confidence in you by conferring the promotion 
which you had earned." General Sharpe was then as- 
signed as Commanding General of the Southeastern 
Department, a position which he still holds. 

General Sharpe is a diligent student and a tireless 
worker, capable of handling intricate problems with- 
out friction or delay. He is popular both with soldiers 
and civilians, and has an enviable record of achieve- 
ment.

BRIGADIER GENERAL MARLBOROUGH CHURCHILL. '96 



DIRECTOR, MILITARY INTELLIGENCE DIVISION 
OFFICER OF THE LEGION OF HONOR 



MARLBOROUGH CHURCHILL, '96 

BRIGADIER GENERAL, U. S. A. 

Marlborough Churchill of Andover, son of Pro- 
fessor John W. Churchill, after graduating from 
Harvard, was commissioned, on July 16, 1901, as 
Second Lieutenant in the Artillery Corps, and was 
advanced successively to be First Lieutenant, Cap- 
tain, and Major in the regular establishment. In Jan- 
uary, 1916, he was sent abroad as American Military 
Observer with the French armies, and served until 
June, 1917, when he was transferred to the General 
Staff, American Expeditionary Forces. His promo- 
tion to be Lieutenant- Colonel in the iSTational Army 
came on August 5, 1917. From February to May^ 
1918, he was Acting Chief of Staff for the 1st 
American Army, but on June 12 was promoted to be 
Colonel and assigned as Chief, Military Intelligence 
Branch, General Staff. In August he was returned to 
America as Director, Military Intelligence Division, 
General Staff, War Department, and advanced to the 
rank of Brigadier General, United States Army. On 
December 14 he was sent to France on special duty 
with the American Commission to Negotiate Peace, 
but was recalled in April, 1919, to duty in Washing- 
ton. He has been decorated as an Officer of the French 
Legion of Honor, as a Commander of the Crown of 
Italy, and as a Commander of the Belgian Order of 
Leopold. 

General Churchill's services as Director of the Mili- 
tary Intelligence Division have won him commenda- 
tion from the highest authorities, and the criticism 
which has been directed at some departments of gov- 
ernmental administration has always passed him by. 
No officer in Washington has shown himself to be 
more experienced, more reliable, or more efficient.

If we add to this list the men in Y. M. C. A. and Red 
Cross work, the grand total is 2222. 

Of the total number in active military, naval, or 
marine service, the proportion of officers and enlisted 
men is as follows : — 



Officers of Army and Marines 
Officers of Navy 



1030 
241 



1271 



392 



CONCLUSION 

Enlisted Men of Army and Marines . . 682 
Enlisted Men of Navy 213 



895 



The proportion of officers to the whole number of 
men in service is therefore about 58.6 per cent, an 
extraordinarily high percentage when it is remem- 
bered how many Phillips Academy men have been 
enrolled as privates in branches of the Student Army 
Training Corps. 

A study of the 1030 men who won commissions 
in the Army and Marines shows them divided as 
follows : — 

Major General 2 

Brigadier-General 1 

Colonel 8 

Lieutenant-Colonel 21 

Major 67 

Captain 255 

First Lieutenant 301 

Second Lieutenant 375 



Total 1030 

The 241 officers of the Navy are divided as 
follows : — 



Commander 
Lieutenant-Commander 
Lieutenant, Senior Grade 
Lieutenant, Junior Grade 
Ensign 



1

Total 241 

It remains only to state the obvious fact, — that the 
list as presented is not complete. Many records have 
been sent in without names attached, and without any

clue to the sender. In other cases no response has 
been made to repeated appeals for information. Pos- 
sibly ten years from now a list can be prepared which 
will contain the name of every man who was at any 
time during the Great War in the service of the 
United States or her Allies ; but even then it is prob- 
able that men will be overlooked. The present record 
has the advantage of timeliness; and, with all its im- 
perfections on its head, it is a convincing proof of the 
spirit with which an American school responded to 
the call of the nation in time of danger.
